Solution:

  • We can make the following venn diagram based on this diagram
    Attachment:
    singdance.png
    singdance.png [ 11.82 KiB | Viewed 607 times ]
  • According to the venn diagram, \(a+b+c+d+e+f+10=100\) or \(a+b+c+d+e+f=90........(i)\)
  • We also know
    • 40 participated in Singing i.e., \(a+d+e+10=40\) or \(a+d+e=30........(ii)\)
    • 50 participated in Dancing i.e., \(b+e+f+10=50\) or \(b+e+f=40........(iii)\)
    • 40 participated in Theatre i.e., \(c+d+f+10=40\) or \(c+d+f=30........(iv)\)
  • We are asked the value of \(d+e+f+10\)

  • Upon adding equations ii, iii and iv, we get: \((a+b+c+d+e+f)+d+e+f=30+40+30\)
    \(⇒90+d+e+f=100\)
    \(⇒d+e+f=10\)
    \(⇒d+e+f+10=20\)

Hence the right answer is Option B

A. 10
B. 20
C. 24
D. 30
E. 32


We can create the following equation:

Total = Sing + Dance + Theater - Double - 2(Triple) + Neither

100 = 40 + 50 + 40 - D - 2 x 10 + 0

100 = 130 - D - 20

100 = 110 - D

10 = D

Thus, 10 + 10 = 20 students participate in at least two activities.

Answer: B
