let M be the set of the students passing  in Mathematics , P be the set of students   passing in Physics & C be the set of   students passing in Chemistry  Now n(M∪P∪C) = 50 , n(M) = 37  n(P) = 24 , n(C)=43 , n(M∩P)≤19  n(M∩C)≤29 , n(P∩C)≤20  ⇒37+24+43−19−29−20+  n(M∩P∩C)≤50   ⇒n(M∩P∩C) ≤ 14 . Thus the largest  possible number that could have   passed all the three examination is 14 ■
