Method I :

         

Using Venn diagram we can easily see that Number of students have not taken any of the three subjects =25

Method II :

\mathrm{Let \; p={programming \; language}, D={Data \; structure}, \& \; \text{C}={computer \; organization}}

Given                 \mathrm{p(P)=\frac{125}{200}, p(D)=\frac{85}{200}, p(C)=\frac{65}{200}}

                          \mathrm{p(P \cap D)=\frac{50}{200}, p(P \cap C)=\frac{35}{200}}

                          \mathrm{p(D \cap C)=\frac{30}{200}, p(P \cap D \cap C)=\frac{15}{200}}

Using Addition theorem, 

                        \begin{aligned} \mathrm{p(P \cup D \cup C)}& = \mathrm{p(P)+p(D)+p(C)-p(P \cap D)}\\ \\- & \mathrm{-p(D \cap C)-p(P \cap C)+p(P \cap D \cap C) }\\ \\& =\frac{7}{8} \end{aligned}

            \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}\mathrm{(\overline{\mathrm{P}} \cap \bar{D} \cap \bar{C})} & = \mathrm{1-P(P \cup D \cup C)} \\ \\& =1-\frac{7}{8}=\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned}

Hence, Number of students who had not taken any of the three courses

                                           =\frac{1}{8} \times 200=25
