Solution

Let A = set of students who failed in CET
B = set of students who failed in NEET
C = set of students who failed in JEE
X = set of all students
∴ n(X) = 200, n(A) = 35, n(B) = 40, n(C) = 40, n(A ∩ B) = 20, n(B ∩ C) = 17, n(A ∩ C) = 15 and n(A ∩ B ∩ C) n = 5


n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= n(A) + n(B) + n(C) − n(A ∩ B) − n(B ∩ C) − n(A ∩ C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 35 + 40 + 40 − 20 − 17 − 15 + 5
= 68
∴ No. of students who did not fail in any exam
= n(X) − n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= 200 − 68
= 132
