18. There are 32 children in a class. Seven of these children study both Physics and Chemistry.

Another 5 children study both Chemistry and Biology. No child studies both Physics and Biology. The

number of children who study just Physics is the same as the number of children who study just

Biology, The number of children who study Chemistry is 16. Just 2 children do not study anyof the

subjects. Determine the number of children who study Biology.

19. Ice creams are available in three flavours, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. A customer may

choose any one flavour or a mixture of two or more flavours. Each customer buys only one ice cream.

The choices of 60 customers were noted. Thirteen chose strawberry only and 2 chose chocolate only.

Eight chose strawberry and chocolate, 14 chose chocolate and vanilla, 20 chose strawberry and

vanilla. The number who chose vanilla only was three <mes as many as the number who chose to

have a mixture of all three flavours.

Find the number of customers who chose vanilla only or strawberry only or vanilla and strawberry

only.

20. In a certain school, the pupils have to study Mathema<cs, Science or Geography. Each pupil must

study at least one of the three subjects. Among a group of 40 pupils, 20 are studying Mathema<cs,

22 Science and 28 Geography; 12 are studying Mathema<cs and Science, 14 are studying Science

and Geography and 15 are studying Mathema<cs and Geography. How many pupils are studying all

the three subjects?

21. A Fire Safety Officer examined 120 schools, looking for faults in fire exit signs (F),

fire ex:nguishers (E) and fire alarm systems (A). He found 18 schools without proper fire exit signs,

24 schools with insufficient fire ex:nguishers and 15 schools with faulty fire alarm systems.

5 schools had exactly two faults, 4 schools had all the three faults, only one school had faults in fire

ex:nguishers and the fire alarm system, and 8 schools had faults in the fire alarm systems only.

Draw a clearly labelled Venn diagram to illustrate the given informa<on.

6|FAISAL MIZAN

Hence, find the number of schools

(a) without any of the three faults;

(b) who had only insufficient fire ex:nguishers;

(c) without proper fire exit signs only.

22. Mary has 50 counters. Some of the counters are square, the remainder are round.

There are 11 square counters that are green. There are 15 square counters that are not green.

Of the round counters, the number that are not green is double the number that are green.

By drawing a Venn diagram, or otherwise, find the number of counters that are

(a) round, (b) round and green, (c) not green.

23. A group of 120 secondary school students were given a choice to study any of the science

subjects: Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.

70 students took Physics

96 students took Chemistry -

52 students took Biology-

60 students took both Physics and Chemistry-

15 students took both Physics and Biology

40 students took both Chemistry and Biology
