From the given:
Total = 150, English (E) = 70, German (G) = 90, French (F) = 60
Also, (E∩G)=40, (F∩G)=30,(E∩F)=25, (E∩G∩F) = 5

We know that
Exactly 2 = Both - 3(All three)
So, Exactly 2 = (40+30+25) - 3(5) = 80. Option D

ExpertsGlobal5
In a group of 150, 70 speak English, 90 speak German, and 60 speak French. If 40 speak English and German, 30 speak French and German, 25 speak English and French, and 5 speak all the three, how many speak exactly two of the three languages?

A. 50
B. 60
C. 70
D. 80
E. 90

If 40 speak English and German, 30 speak French and German, 25 speak English and French, and 5 speak all the three.

Removing the all three groups (5) from the regions of overlapping , we get

English and German only = 40-5 = 35

French and German = 30 - 5 = 25

English and French = 25 - 5 = 20

so Exactly two = 35 + 25 + 20 = 80

Option D
