एक महाविद्यालय में फुटबाल के लिए $38,$ बास्केट बाल के लिए $15$ और क्रिकेट के लिए $20$ पदक प्रदान किए गए। यदि ये पदक कुल $58$ लोगों को मिले और केवल तीन लोगों को तीनों खेलों के लिए मिले, तो कितने लोगों को तीन में से ठीक-ठीक दो खेलों के लिए मिले ?
Solution

Let $F, B$ and $C$ denote the set of men who received medals in football, basketball and cricket. respectively.
Then $n( F )=38, n( B )=15, n( C )=20$
$n( F \cup B \cup C )=58$ and $n( F \cap B \cap C )=3$
Therefore, $\quad n( F \cup B \cup C )=n( F )+n( B )$
$+n( C )-n( F \cap B )-n( F \cap C )-n( B \cap C )+$
$n( F \cap B \cap C )$
gives $n( F \cap B )+n( F \cap C )+n( B \cap C )=18$
Consider the Venn diagram as given in Fig
Here, $a$ denotes the number of men who got medals in football and basketball only, $b$ denotes the number of men who got medals in football and cricket only, $c$ denotes the number of men who got medals in basket ball and cricket only and $d$ denotes the number of men who got medal in all the three.
Thus, $d=n( F \cap B \cap C )=3$ and $a+d+b+d+c+d=18$
Therefore $a+b+c=9,$
which is the number of people who got medals in exactly two of the three sports.
