in trigonometry 18

in algebra and geometry 7

in algebra and trigonometry 8

    Hello Carlton dear, what our friend D.W. says is correct. Some data is missing. So we cannot solve it. Now I have given the Venn diagram drawn duly.

    Any way by logic 1-x confirms that x could not exceed 1. So let x be 1

    There by only one has solved all the three problems.

    Numbers solved two are 7+8+9=24

    And total number of students = 33 (This data is missing)

    Any way logic helps to get the right answer.
