In a class of 40 students, 32 offer Mathematics, 24 offer Physics and 4 offer neither Mathematics nor Physics. How many offer both Mathematics and Physics?
- 4
- 8
- 16
-
20
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Let the number of people that offer both Mathematics and Physics = y
Then, \((32 - y) + y + (24 - y) + 4 = 40\)
\(60 - y = 40 \implies y = 20\)
\(\therefore\) 20 students offer both Mathematics and Physics.
