Q5.

Some students were asked the following question.

"Which of the subjects Russian (R), French (F) and German (G) do you study?"
Of these students
4 study all three of Russian, French and German
10 study Russian and French
13 study French and German
6 study Russian and German
24 study German
11 study none of the three subjects
the number who study Russian only is twice the number who study French only.
Let x be the number of students who study French only.
(a) Show all this information on the Venn diagram, giving the number of students in each appropriate
subset, in terms of x
where necessary.

(3)
Given that the number of students who were asked the question was 80
(b) work out the number of these students that study Russian.
