Hi,
Let
e1 = number of students who opted only 1 course
e2 = number of students who opted only 2 courses
e3 = number of students who opted only 3 courses
We need to find e1+e2+e3
e1+2e2+3e3 = 30+50+20 = 100
given that e3=0
and e2 = 10+7+9 = 26
So, e1+e2+26 = 100 =>e1+e2 = 74
If you can draw Venn diagrams, it will bevery easy.
Cheers!

only marketing students = 30 - (10+9) = 11
only sales students = 50 - (10+7) = 33
only leadership students = 20- (9+7) = 4

thus students opting for different subjects = 11+33+4 = 48.
