Solution

The correct option is C Number of students taking Physics but not Chemistry is 18.
Let C denote the set of students who have taken Chemistry and P be the set of students taking Physics.
It is given that
n(CP)=35,n(C)=17,andn(CP)=10.
Now, n(CP)=n(C)n(CP)
10=17n(CP)
n(CP)=7

Number of students having both Chemistry and Physics are 7.
n(CP)=n(C)+n(P)n(CP)
35=17+n(P)7
n(P)=25

n(PC)=n(P)n(CP)
(n(PC)=257
(n(PC)=18

Tne number of students taking Physics but not Chemistry is 18.
