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 $n( A \cap B )=30$

The number of individuals exposed either to chemical $C_{1}$ or to chemical $C_{2}$, i.e., $n( A \cup B )=n( A )+n( B )-n( A \cap B )$

$=120+50-30=140$
