2 ≤ x ≤ 50
Hence, (50-50) ≤ y ≤ (50-2)
or 0 ≤ y ≤ 48

(53-48) ≤ z ≤ (53-0)
5 ≤ z ≤ 53

draw a 2x2 matrix and we see all given values are possible

---sa----nsa----total
sb-48---5-------53
nsb->2-- 0------0
tot--50---5-----
we can have nsb and sa >=2

How come the number of members in set B that are not in set A can be '53'... as already it is mentioned that At least 2 of the members in set A are not in set B . According to me, it should be 5 and 50 and not 53. Please clarify.

If 2 members from set A are not in set B and the other 48 members of set A are also members of set B, then the number of members in set B that are not in set A is 53 - 48 = 5. So Roman numeral I could be true.

If 47 members from set A are not in set B and the other 3 members of set A are also members of set B, then the number of members in set B that are not in set A is 53 - 3 = 50. So Roman numeral II could be true also.

If all 50 members from set A are not in set B, then the number of members in set B that are not in set A is 53. So Roman numeral III could also be true.
