Sum of individual - (present in exactly two) - 2*(present in all three) = total unique.
This can be seen from the fact that: those who are common to exactly two, are counted twice when we add up the individual ( and hence we need to subtract once)
And those who are common to all three get added thrice. ( Hence subtract twice)
32*3 - 5 - 3*2
96 - 5 - 6 =85
85 seems to be the unique students. Hence (D) should be the correct answer.
mrr0821, what is the source of the question?
