The overlap is minimum when Neither = 0 and it is maximum when one set lies inside the other set.
Here is a video discussing this with the help of diagrams: Max Min in Overlapping Sets
When Neither = 0,
Total = F + B - Both
100 = 57 + 68 - Both
Both = 25 (minimum value)
Maximum value of Both = 57
Difference = 57 - 25 = 32

Maximum possible number of students who like both = 57
total number of students who like both ,57 + 68 = 125
57+68-b=100 , b=57+68-100=25
A-B
=57-25
=32
