Question Statement:

In a survey of $100$ agricultural students: - $60$ study Farm Power ($P$) - $50$ study Soil Mechanics ($S$) - $30$ study both Farm Power and Soil Mechanics ($P \cap S$) Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

Options:

  • (A) The number of students studying only Farm Power is $30$
  • (B) The number of students studying only Soil Mechanics is $20$
  • (C) The total number of students studying at least one of the two subjects is $80$
  • (D) The number of students studying neither subject is $20$

Answer Key:

A, B, C, D

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

1. Only $P = n(P) - n(P \cap S) = 60 - 30 = 30$ (A is true). 2. Only $S = n(S) - n(P \cap S) = 50 - 30 = 20$ (B is true). 3. $n(P \cup S) = n(P) + n(S) - n(P \cap S) = 60 + 50 - 30 = 80$ (C is true). 4. Neither $= 100 - n(P \cup S) = 100 - 80 = 20$ (D is true). All statements A, B, C, D are correct.
