Number of Elements in Union A , B & C -

n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = n (A) + n (B) + n (C) – n (A ∩ B) – n (A ∩ C) – n (B ∩ C) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)

- wherein

Given A, B and C be any finite sets. then Number of Elements in union A , B & C is given by this formula.

 

From the concept,

Let n(A) = no. of students opted maths = 70

n(B) = student opted physics = 40

n(C) = student opted chemistry = 28

n\left (A\bigcap B \right ) = 23 , n\left (A\bigcap C \right ) = 14 , n\left (B\bigcap C \right ) = 9

n\left (A\bigcap B \bigcap C \right ) = 4

Now , n\left (A\bigcap B \bigcap C \right ) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n\left ( A\bigcap B \right ) - n\left ( A\bigcap c \right ) - n\left ( B\bigcap C \right ) + n\left (A\bigcap B \bigcap C \right ) = 70 + 40 + 28 - 23 - 14 + 4 = 102

Total no. of student not adopted any course = total - n\left (A\bigcap B \bigcap C \right ) = 140 - 102 = 38
