Question
In a class of 30 students, 18 students are taking mathematics, 12 are taking physics, and 5 are taking both subjects. How many students are taking only mathematics or only physics?A. 23B. 25C. 28D. 3
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find the number of students who are taking only mathematics or only physics.
First, let's find out how many students are taking only mathematics. We know that 18 students are taking mathematics and 5 of these are also taking physics. So, the number of students taking only mathematics is 18 - 5 = 13.
Next, let's find out how many students are taking only physics. We know that 12 students are taking physics and 5 of these are also taking mathematics. So, the number of students taking only physics is 12 - 5 = 7.
Finally, to find the total number of students who are taking only mathematics or only physics, we add the two numbers we found: 13 + 7 = 20.
So, the answer is not in the options given. There seems to be a mistake in the question or the options.
