In a class of 140 students numbered 1 to 140 , all even numbered students opted Mathematics course, those…
Solution
From the given students, all even numbered students opted Mathematics hence, the number of students opted Mathematics is where denotes the greatest integer function of
Similarly, the students who opted Physics are
And, the students who opted Chemistry are
Similarly, the students who opted Mathematics and Physics are the numbers which are divisible by both i.e. and their number is
The students who opted Mathematics and Chemistry are the numbers which are divisible by both i.e. and their number is
The students who opted Physics and Chemistry are the numbers which are divisible by both i.e. and their number is
And, the students who opted all the three subjects are the numbers which are divisible by i.e. and their number is 
Now, using
Thus, students have opted for atleast one of the three subjects.
Hence, number of students who did not opt for any of the three courses
