Here's the Solution to this Question

N(P)-took physics,N(C)-took chemistry,N(M)-took maths

all those who took physics also took chemistry, so

N(P&C)=N(P)-N(P&M)=15-6=9

a)exactly one subject

N=N(P)-(N(P&M)+N(P&C))+N(C)-(N(C&M)+N(P&C))+N(M)-(N(P&M)+N(M&C))+=0+23-(6+9)+20-(9+9)=10

b)exactly two subjects

N=N(P&M)+N(C&M)+N(P&C)=6+9+9=24

c) N=N(P)+N(C)+N(M)-N(P&C)-N(P&M)-N(M&C)+1=20+23+15-6-9-9+1=35
