CORRECT ANS IS
Adding the number of students taking French
and the number of students taking chemistry and
then subtracting the number of students taking both
yields (63 + 48) – 21 = 90. This is the number of
students enrolled in either French or chemistry or
both. Since the total school enrollment is 150,
there are 150 – 90 = 60 students enrolled in neither
French nor chemistry. The answer is (A).
