Solution

The correct option is E 167

As per the information given in the question, we get the venn diagram as:

We get the equations as:
T + 32 = V + 34 = G + 35
and V + T + G + 46 = 278 => V + T + G = 232
So, by solving the equations we get, no. of students who have occupied seat in Violin Class or Guitar Class, but not in
Tabla Class = 77 + 14 + 76 = 167. Hence option (e)
