Hi
30 - 9 - 13 = 8NB (Including the 2 all 3)
25 - 9 - 10 = 6FB (Including the 2 all 3)
32 play two
52 - 32 - 8 - 6 = 6 HB only
Wish You the Best in your Studies.

A certain college has 52 students participating in games.30 play netball, 25 play football ,
10 play handball and football, 13 play netball and handball, 9 play netball and football while 2 play all the three games.
How many students play handball and no other game?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For 3 subsets N, F and H, apply the inclusive-exclusive formula
52 = N + F + H - NF - NH - FH + NFH.
Here NF, NH and FH denote in-pair intersections and NFH is the triple intersection.
In this formula, all the terms are given in the condition, except of H.
So we substitute known values and get this equation for H
52 = 30 + 25 + H - 10 - 13 - 9 + 2,
simplify
52 = 25 + H
and find
H = 52 - 25 = 27.
So, 27 play handball.
But we need only those who play handball and no other games.
So, we subtract NH= 13 and FH= 10 from H= 27 and add NFH= 2
= 27 - 13 - 10 + 2 = 6. ANSWER
ANSWER. 6 students play handball only.
Solved.
