Number of players passed at least 2 subjects = (Number of players passed exactly 2 subjects) + (Number of players passed at least 3 subjects)

Similarly, Number of players passed at least 3 subjects = (Number of players passed exactly 3 subjects) + (Number of players passed at least 4 subjects)

Hence, number of players passed exactly 2 subjects = Number of players passed at least 2 subjects - (Number of players passed at least 3 subjects) = 30 - 18 = 12

Hence, number of players passed exactly 3 subjects = Number of players passed at least 3 subjects - (Number of players passed at least 4 subjects) = 18 - 3 = 15

Hope it is clear.
