Question
Answer the following:
In a school there are 20 teachers who teach Mathematics or Physics. Of these, 12 teach Mathematics and 4 teach both Physics and Mathematics. How many teachers teach Physics?
Solution
Let A = set of teachers who teach Mathematics
B = set of teachers who teach Physics
∴ n(A ∪ B) = 20, n(A) = 12, n(A ∩ B) = 4
Since, n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
∴ 20 = 12 + n(B) – 4
∴ n(B) = 12
∴ Number of teachers who teach physics = 12
