Solution

Let B, H, F denote the sets of members who are in the basket hall team, hockey team and football team respectively.
Given n(B)=21,n(H)=26,n(F)=29. n(HB)=14,n(HF)=15, n(FB)=12 and n(BHF)=8.
We have to find n(BHF).
n(BHF)=n(B)+n(H)n(F) n(BH)n(HF)n(FB)+n(BHF).
n(BHF)=(21+26+29)(14+15+12)+8=43
