Solution
Let B, C and D represent students come to school by bus, bicycle and foot respectively.
n(B ∪ C ∪ D) = 50, n(B) = 25, n(C) = 20, n(D) = 30, n(B ∩ C ∩ D) = 10
Let x, y and z represent the students come to school exactly by two modes of transport.
Let us represent the given data in Venn diagrams.
Total number of students in the class = 50
15 – x – z + x + 10 – x – y + y + 10 + z + 20 – z – y = 50
55 – x – y – z = 50
55 – 50 = x + y + z
5 = x + y + z
Number of students come to school exactly by two modes of transport = 5
