Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 40 students like Mathematics, 30 like Science, and 10 like both subjects, how many students like only Mathematics?
  • Step 1: Identify the total number of students who like Mathematics, which is 40.
  • Step 2: Identify the number of students who like both Mathematics and Science, which is 10.
  • Step 3: To find the number of students who like only Mathematics, subtract the number of students who like both subjects from the total number of students who like Mathematics.
  • Step 4: Perform the calculation: 40 (students who like Mathematics) - 10 (students who like both) = 30.
  • Step 5: The result is that 30 students like only Mathematics.
  • Set Theory – Understanding the relationship between different groups (students who like Mathematics, Science, or both) using set operations.
  • Venn Diagrams – Visualizing the overlap between two sets to determine the number of students in each category.
