Solution

Let A, B and C represent students play chess, carrom and table tennis.

n(A) = 22, n(B) = 21, n(C) = 15

n(A ∩ C) = 10, n(B ∩ C) = 8, n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 6

Let “x” represent student play chess and carrom but not table tennis.

Let us represent the data in Venn diagram.

From the Venn diagram we get,

Number of students play atleast one game = 35

12 – x + x + 13 – x + 2 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 35

40 – 35 = x

5 = x

Number of students who play only chess

= 12 – x

= 12 – 5

= 7
