Solution

The correct option is B 41

option (b)

A is the set of those who opted for Dance = 1202=60 students.

B is the set of those who opted for Music = 1205=24.

C is the set of those who opted for Debate = 1207=17.

The 10th, 20th, 30th…… numbered students would have opted for both Dance and Music. 12010=12.

The 14th, 28th, 42nd…. Numbered students would have opted for Dance and Debate.= 12014=8.

The 35th, 70th …. Numbered students would have opted for Music and Debate = 12035=3.

And the 70th numbered student would have opted for all three subjects.

S=101, II+3III = 23

III= 1, S-X= 20+2

101-22 = X

X=79

Therefore, number of students who did not opt for any of the three activities = 41
