    In a class of 100 students, 55 students have passed in Mathematics and 67 students have passed in Physics. Then, the number of students who have passed in Physics only is

    A) 22

    B) 33

    C) 10

    D) 45

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[n\,(M)=55,\]\[n\,(P)=67,\]\[n\,(M\cup P)=100\] Now, \[n\,(M\cup P)=n\,(M)+n\,(P)-n\,(M\cap P)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[100=55+67-n\,(M\cap P)\] \[\therefore \]      \[n\,(M\cap P)=122-100=22\] Now, n (P only) \[=n\,(P)-n\,(M\cap P)\] \[=67-22=45\]
