LET PEOPLE TAKING ONLY PSYCHOLOGY =P
LET PEOPLE TAKING ONLY ECONOMICS=E
LET PEOPLE TAKING BOTH =B
LET PEOPLE TAKING NEITHER =N
TOTAL = P+E+B+N=150...................1
P+E+B+22=150......................
P+E+B=150-22=128........................2
P+B=90.....................3
E+B=75....................4
EQN.3+EQN.4 GIVES
P+E+2B=90+75=165........................5
EQN.5-EQN.2 GIVES
B=165-128=37
