There are 70 students in Math or English or German. Exactly 40 are in Math, 30 in German, 35 in English and 15 in all three courses. How many students are enrolled in exactly two of the courses? Math, English and German.

how come exactly 2=75

Total number of students are 70 so you cant exceed the figure, right?
I think you forgot to subtract 70 out of it.

40 Math,
30 German
35 English

makes it 40+30+35=105 total choices out of 70 students.

A student can choose only one subject, two subjects or all three subjects.
the students belong to third category are 15.

70 + 2(15) + two subjects students + 0(single subject studnet) = total choices


now somebody should come up with better explanation.
I too think asnwer is 5.

Math = 25 + 15 (all-3)
German = 15 + 15 (all-3)
English = 20 + 15 (all-3)

i.e. we have 15 students taking all-3 + 60 students
not taking all-3 for a total of 75.

Since there are 70 students in all, 5 of them should be
taking 2 courses at the same time.

Is the OA 5 ?

let :
M : students in maths, G : all students in geman ; E : all students in English
DM : are students either with nath and english or with maths and german; so are DG and DE
T : students in 3 class

( M - DM -T) +( G - DG- T) +( E-DE - T) = 70


summimg the following expessions : M+G+E - ( DM+DE+DG) - 3T= 70

Given M+E+G = 70
T = 15
BUT, (carefully) DM+DE+DG =2 sum of students with all double subjects , because DM has double components

LEt the sum of all students with double subjects be x;

70 =105 - 2X- 45

Here I can not go farther, because x would be negative,

Am I wrong.
Any comment,
I appologize for my Frenchy-English.
I am working on it.

Oooops, I was wrong, :oops: but I can not give up
in fact, the equation USING Venn Diagrams is, (SEE ATTACHED FIGURE)

LEt the sum of all students with double subjects be x;

M+G+E - x - 2T= 70

Given M+E+G = 40+35+30 = 105
T = 15

then x = 5

I hope it's clear

here's the oa:

MuEuG = M + E + G - MnE - MnG - EnG - 2(MnEnG)
MnE + MnG + EnG = M + E + G - 2(MnEnG) - MuEuG
MnE + MnG+ EnG = 40 + 30 + 35 - 2(15) - 70 = 105 - 30 - 70 = 5

Whenever an intersection occurs between 2 sets, (MnEnG) is counted twice, therefore you deduct one of it. If the intersection occurs between 3 sets, it is counted thrice; therefore you deduct two of it. And so forth.
If there are four sets, then the formula is A + B + C + D -(two) -(three)*2 -(four)*3 = total
