A. 35
B. 30
C. 45 --> correct
D. 60
E. 50
Solution:
T=400
C=270, E=300 & B=50
All those doing Computer Science do English i.e. all the computer students are inside english, so C w/o E = 300-270=30 (this can have Business students also but not compute students)
35 take English and Business studies, so only Business=50-35=15
So the number of students who are doing either English or Business studies but not Computer Science = 30+15=45
A. 35
B. 30

C=270, E=300 & B=50

35 take English and Business studies, so only Business=50-35=15
So the number of students who are doing either English or Business studies but not Computer Science = 30+15=45

I understand how the solution above was calculated, but it doesn't seem to add up when looking at the premise of the problem.
Given:
CS + B = 20
E + B = 35
Derived:
B only = 50 - 35 = 15
The problem says there are 50 total who study business. 20 + 35 + 15 = 70 study business. Am I missing something or does the problem need to be revised?
Also how do we know that there aren't people taking all three?
