Solution

The correct option is A 18

Number of students who follow cricket n(C) = 20

Number of students who follow hockey n(H) = 38

Number of students who follow basketball n(B) = 15

Number of students follow all three games (C ∩ H ∩ B) = 3

From Venn diagram we know,

n(C∪H∪B) = n (C) + n (H) + n (B) - n(C∩H) - n(H∩B) - n(B∩C) + n(ABC)

58 = n(C) + n(H) + n(B) - n(C∩H) - n(H∩B) - n(B∩C) + 3

58 = 20 + 38 + 15 - n(C∩H) - n(H∩B) - n(B∩C) + 3

n(C∩H) + n(H∩B) + n(B∩C) = 76 - 58

= 18

Therefore, the number of students following exactly any two of three games is 18.
