In a class, 6 students can speak Tamil, 15 can speak Gujarati and 6 can speak H. If two students can speak two languages and one student can speak all the three languages, then how many students are there in the class?
Read Solution (Total 17)
-
- Ans:- 23
Solution :-
T = 6
G = 15
H = 6
students can speak two languages (suppose Tamil & Gujarati) = 2
student can speak all the three languages = 1
student can speak only Tamil language = 6-2-1 = 3
student can speak only Gujarati language = 15-2-1 = 12
student can speak only H language = 6-1 = 5
So, Total number of student = 2+1+3+12+5 = 23 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(34) No(7)
- 6 tamil
15 gujrati
6 hindi
let 2 people can speak gujrati and hindi
and as given 1 speak all three
so reduce 1 from any two
5 tamil
14 gujrati
6 hindi
then again reduce2 from gujrati bcoz that are counted in hindi
so now
5 tamil
12 gujrati
6 hindi
total 23 is ans. Also asked in AMCAT - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(4)

- 20 is the right answer
(6+15+6)-2*2-3*1=20 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- 2 students tamil and gujrati
2 students gujrati and hindi
2 students himdi and tamil
1 students can speak all
6-(2+2+1)=1 student only tamil
6-(2+2+1)=1 student only hindi
15-(2+2+1)=10 student only gujrati
so total=2+2+2+1+1+1+10=19 students - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)

correct ans is 23 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Tamil.....Gujrati.....Hindi
6 15 6
5 14 6........two students can speak both language so reduce two students either from any two language(suppose T & G)or any one language.
5 14 5.........reduce one student from hindi b/c one student can speak all three languages.
hence,
ANS = 24 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)

12 spk gujrati 3 h, 3 tamil 1 speak all 3 , and 3 spks 2 lang in common - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- using vein diagram, out of (15+6+6)=27 students , 1 stdnt cn spk all 3 lang and 2 cn speak any two so subtracting 27-(1+2+2+2)=20 students

- a=6,b=15,c=6 ,a intersection b=2,a intrsctn b intersection c=1
so, aUbUc=a+b+c-2-0-0+1=6+15+6-2+1=26 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Tamil.....Gujrati.....Hindi
6 15 6
5 14 6........two students can speak both language so reduce two students either from any two language(suppose T & G)or any one language.

- from venn diagram also,
1 student can speak all three lang. 2 student can speak two lang. suppose these 2 students know tamil & gujarati ,,,
therefore ,ans=(6-2-1)+(15-2-1)+(6-1)+1+2=23 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- using set theory and venn diagram
=P(A)+P(B)+P(c)-P(a and b)- p(b nd c) -P(c and a) + P(A and B and C)
=6+15+6-2-2-2+1
=22 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 24 is the answer
