\(Total = A + B + C - (sum \ of \ EXACTLY \ 2-group \ overlaps) - 2*(all \ three) + Neither\).
Since each parent is assigned to at least 1 of 3 committees, then the # of parents assigned to neither of them is 0.
\(39=21+18+19-x-2*5+0\) --> \(x=9\).
Answer: D.

This post tells you how you get the formula for n(Exactly two sets) and others:
https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/2015/10 ... ping-sets/
This is our standard formula:
Total = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(A and B) – n(B and C) – n(C and A) + n(A and B and C) + n(No Set)
39 = 21 + 18 + 19 - (n(A and B) + n(B and C) + n(C and A)) + 5 + 0
(n(A and B) + n(B and C) + n(C and A)) = 24
Now let’s see how we can calculate the number of people in exactly two sets.
n(A and B) includes people who are in both A and B and it also includes people who are in A, B and C. Because of this, we should remove n(A and B and C) from n(A and B) to get n(A and B only). Similarly, you get n(B and C only) and n(C and A only), so adding all these three will give us number of people in exactly 2 sets.
n(Exactly two sets) = n(A and B) – n(A and B and C) + n(B and C) – n(A and B and C) + n(C and A) – n(A and B and C).
Therefore:
n(Exactly two sets) = n(A and B) + n(B and C) + n(C and A) – 3*n(A and B and C)
n(Exactly two sets) = 24 - 3*5 = 9
Answer (D)
In other words, you can substitute from formula 2 into formula 1 to get
n(A and B) + n(B and C) + n(C and A) = n(Exactly two sets) + 3*n(A and B and C)
Put in formula 1:
Total = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – (n(Exactly two sets) + 3*n(A and B and C)) + n(A and B and C) + n(No Set)
Total = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(Exactly two sets) - 2*n(A and B and C)) + n(No Set)
