Question

5. a) Among 72 students, 24 are selected to participate in music only, 26 are selected to participate in dance only and none of them participated in both activities. The rest of the students are selected in other activities. (i) How many students are participating in other than music or dance?​

Answer 1

The students participating in other than music or dance = 22

Step by step Step-by-step explanation

Total number of students = 72

No. of students participating in dance = 26 (let them be 'a')

No. of students participating in music = 24 (let them be 'b')

No. of students participating in othe na than dance or music = 'c'

72 = a+b+c

= 26+24+c

= 50 + c

c (no. of students participating in other activities)

= 72 - 50 = 22
