Here's the Solution to this Question

|S|=135, |A\cup B \cup C|=135-10=125


|A\ alone|=23, |C\ alone|=17,


|B\ alone|=61-23-17=21

y+z+w+21=60

x+y+z=55

x+y+w=46

61+55+w=125

Then


w=9

x+y=37

y+z=30

z=18

x=25,y=12,z=18,w=9

(a)

|B\cap C|=18+9=27

(b) A and B only?


|A\ and\ B\ only|=12

(c)

|A\cup C|=23+17+25+9=74
