Correct Answer: 5

Explanation:

Given, total students = 70M=40; P=35; C=30P + C + M = 15

Now. we can solve it by using Venn diagram. Let depict it.

We let the number of students who study exactly two subjects are x, y & z

We have to find out the value of (x + y + z)

According to the question

40-15-x-z+35-15-x-z+30-15-y-z+x+y+z+15 = 70

=> 105 -30-x-y-z=70

=> 75-70 =x+y+z

so, x+y+z = 5

The number of students studying exactly two subject is 5
