Solution


Let M, P and C represents the set of students who likes Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry respectively as shown in venn diagram below:
From the venn diagram, we have n(MP)=x,n(MC)=y and n(PC)=z

As we know,
n(MPC)=n(M)+n(P)+n(C)n(MP)n(MC)n(PC)+n(MPC)
100=60+72+68(x+y+z)+0x+y+z=100
Since, no student like only maths, or only physics or only chemistry
So x+y=60x+z=72y+z=68y=28

Now the number of students who don't like mathematics and chemistry is given by
n(MC)=100n(MC)
=100(60+68y)=y28=0
