Given, total students = 70

M=40; P= 35; C = 30  [Using first alphabet of all subjects]

P+C+M=15

Now, we can solve it by using Venn diagram. Let depict it.

We let the number of students

who study exactly two subjects are x, y & z. 

We have to find out the value of (x + y + z)

According to the question

40-15-x-y+35-15-x-z+30-15-y-z+x+y+z+15=70 105-30-x-y-z=7075-70=x+y+zx+y+z=5
The number of students studying exactly two subjects is 5.
