Answer 1

64 students drink coke only

34 students drink pepsi only

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of students that drink coke only and number of students that drink pepsi only.

Let the number of students that drink both be x

Mathematically,

n(μ) = 119 where μ represents the universal set

n(P) = 39

n(C) = 69

n(C n P) = x

n(C n P)’ = 16

n(P) only = 39 - x

n( C) only = 69 - x

Mathematically;

119 = (69-x) + (39-x) + x + 16

119 = 69 + 39 + 16 -2x + x

119 = 124 - x

x = 124 - 119

x = 5

So the number of students drinking pepsi only = 39 -5 = 34

The number of students drinking coke only = 69-5 = 64
