In a class of 50 students, 30 like Math, 25 like Science, and 10 like both. How many students like neither Math nor Science?

  • A.5
  • B.10
  • C.15
  • D.20

Answer: A

Let M be the set of students who like Math and S be the set of students who like Science.

n(M) = 30, n(S) = 25, n(M ∩ S) = 10.

Number of students who like at least one subject is n(M ∪ S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M ∩ S) = 30 + 25 - 10 = 45.

Total students = 50.

Number of students who like neither = Total students - n(M ∪ S) = 50 - 45 = 5.
