Problem Solving

1.





Given n() = 70, n(P) = 32, n(Q) = 18, and n(PQ) = 8. Find the value of k.













2. Diagram 4 shows an incomplete Venn diagram that represents the number of students from a class of 30,
according to the subjects they have studied. Each student studied at least one of the three subjects Physics,
Chemistry and Biology.
Given the universal set, = P C B,
P = {students who studied Physics}
C = {students who studied Chemistry}
B = {students who studied Biology}

20 students studied Chemistry and 12 students studied Biology.
Based on this information, find
(a) the number of students who studied Chemistry and Biology but not Physics.
(b) the number of students who studied Biology only.
(c) the number of students who studied Physics.
