The table above shows the number of students in three clubs at McAuliffe School. Although no student is in all three clubs, 10 students are in both chess and drama, 5 students are in both chess and math, and 6 students are in both drama and math. How many different students are in the three clubs?

(A) 68
(B) 69
(C) 74
(D) 79
(E) 84



10 c and d
5 c and m
6 d and m

total = only one + 2(only two) + 3 ( all three)

40+30+25 = only one + 2(10+5+6) + 3(0)

only one = 53

now only one club = 53

different students = 53+10+5+6+0 = 74

(C) imo

Why are we adding 10, 6, and 5? Can someone explain?

25 + 14 + 14 + 10 + 6 + 5 = 74

The reason why we are adding the 10 + 6 + 5 is because we are asked to find the total number of students in 3 different clubs. We need to consider the students who are also included in both the clubs and all three clubs(which is zero, in this case).
If the question was asking for total number of students in only one club then the answer would have been 24 + 14 + 10.

If the same student is a part of two or more groups, they will be counted more than once when the number of students in the clubs is considered.

Now, since 10 students are in Chess and Drama, 5 are in Chess and Math, and 6 are in Drama and Math, a total of 21 students are counted twice.

Thus, the total number of the students will be (40 + 30 + 25) - 21 = 74 students.

Thus, the correct option is C.
