In a group of students, $100$ students know Hindi, $50$ know English and $25$ know both. Each of the students knows either Hindi or English. How many students are there in the group?

A

$125$

B

$125$

C

$125$

D

$125$

Solution

Let $U$ be the set of all students in the group.

Let $E$ be the set of all students who know English.

Let $H$ be the set of all students who know Hindi.

$\therefore H \cup E=U$

Accordingly, $n(H)=100$ and $n(E)=50$

$n(H \cap E)=25$

$n(U)=n(H)+n(E)-n(H \cap E)$

$=100+50-25$

$=125$

Hence, there are $125$ students in the group.
