Let $U$ denote the universal set consisting of individuals suffering from the skin disorder, $A$ denote the set of individuals exposed to the chemical $C_{1}$ and $B$ denote the set of individuals exposed to the chemical $C_{2}$

Here $\quad n( U )=200, n( A )=120, n( B )=50$ and $n( A \cap B )=30$

From the Venn diagram given in Fig we have $A=(A-B) \cup(A \cap B)$

$n(A) = n(A - B) + n(A \cap B)\quad $ ( Since $(A - B)$ and $A \cap B$ are disjoint. )

or $n( A - B )=n( A )-n( A \cap B )=120-30=90$

Hence, the number of individuals exposed to chemical $C_{1}$ but not to chemical $C_{2}$ is $90$
