In a class of 40 students, 32 offer Mathematics, 24 offer Physics and 4 offer neither. How many offer both Mathematics and Physics?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Take away the 4 who offer neither: 40−4=3640 - 4 = 36 offer at least one subject.
  2. Both subjects: 32+24−36=2032 + 24 - 36 = 20, option C.
