Answer:

(a): 10 civil servants who were absent.

(b): 15 civil servants are in field only.

Explanation:

Let;

  • Civil servants in office be o
  • Civil servants in field be f


{ \rm{ \sum(n) = 90}} \\ \\ { \rm{n(o) = 65}} \\ \\ { \rm{n(f) = 50}} \\ \\ { \rm{(o \: { \huge{n}} \: f) = 35}}

Question (a):

Let the absentees be x


{ \rm{x + (65 - 35) + (50 - 35) + 35 = 90}} \\ \\ { \rm{x + 80 = 90}} \\ \\ { \rm{x = 10}}

There are 10 absentees.

Question (b):

Servants in field only;


{ \rm{n(f \: only) = 50 - 35}} \\ \\ { \rm{n(f \: only) = 15 \: servants}}
