N_(A,B) +N_(A,C) =25   ...(i)  N_(A,B) +N_(B,C) =12   ...(ii)  N_(A,C) +N_(B,C) =23   ...(iii)  Σ:  2(N_(A,B) +N_(B,C) +N_(A,C) )=25+12+23=60  N_(A,B) +N_(B,C) +N_(A,C) =30    ...(iv)  (iv)−(iii):  N_(A,B) =7  (iv)−(i):  N_(B,C) =5  (iv)−(ii):  N_(A,C) =18  ⇒totally 30 students, 7 saw A &B,  5 saw B & C, 18 saw A & C.

$${N}_{{A},{B}} +{N}_{{A},{C}} =\mathrm{25}\:\:\:...\left({i}\right) \\ $$$${N}_{{A},{B}} +{N}_{{B},{C}} =\mathrm{12}\:\:\:...\left({ii}\right) \\ $$$${N}_{{A},{C}} +{N}_{{B},{C}} =\mathrm{23}\:\:\:...\left({iii}\right) \\ $$$$\Sigma: \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\left({N}_{{A},{B}} +{N}_{{B},{C}} +{N}_{{A},{C}} \right)=\mathrm{25}+\mathrm{12}+\mathrm{23}=\mathrm{60} \\ $$$${N}_{{A},{B}} +{N}_{{B},{C}} +{N}_{{A},{C}} =\mathrm{30}\:\:\:\:...\left({iv}\right) \\ $$$$\left({iv}\right)−\left({iii}\right): \\ $$$${N}_{{A},{B}} =\mathrm{7} \\ $$$$\left({iv}\right)−\left({i}\right): \\ $$$${N}_{{B},{C}} =\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\left({iv}\right)−\left({ii}\right): \\ $$$${N}_{{A},{C}} =\mathrm{18} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{totally}\:\mathrm{30}\:{students},\:\mathrm{7}\:{saw}\:{A}\:\&{B}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}\:{saw}\:{B}\:\&\:{C},\:\mathrm{18}\:{saw}\:{A}\:\&\:{C}. \\ $$
