Identify sets and relationships: Identify the sets and their relationships.We have three sets: candidates who offered Mathematics M, English E, and French F. Some candidates offered more than one subject, and some offered all three. We need to use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the total number of candidates.
Write given numbers: Write down the given numbers.Number of candidates who offered Mathematics (M) = 72Number of candidates who offered English (E) = 64Number of candidates who offered French (F) = G2Number of candidates who offered both Mathematics and English (M∩E) = 18Number of candidates who offered both Mathematics and French (M∩F) = 24Number of candidates who offered both English and French (E∩F) = 20Number of candidates who offered all three subjects (M∩E∩F) = 640
Apply inclusion-exclusion principle: Apply the principle of inclusion-exclusion.Total number of candidates = ∣M∣+∣E∣+∣F∣−∣M∩E∣−∣M∩F∣−∣E∩F∣+∣M∩E∩F∣
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the given values into the formula.Total number of candidates = 72+64+G2−18−24−20+8
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression.Total number of candidates = 72+64+G2−18−24−20+8Total number of candidates = 136+G2−54Total number of candidates = 82+G2
Identify value of G2: Identify the value of G2.The problem statement does not provide a numerical value for G2, which represents the number of candidates who offered French. Without this value, we cannot calculate the exact total number of candidates.
Conclude with given information: Conclude with the information given.Since G2 is not provided, we can only express the total number of candidates as a function of G2. The total number of candidates for the examination is 82 plus the number of candidates who offered French.
