Here, we have some blocks these blocks has various colors.
First we consider as only two colors either yellow, red and combination of both.
35 are yellow
20 are red
15 are both red and yellow
Find:
1. Total blocks (40)
2. Are only yellow (20) vs yellow (35)
There are 35 blocks are yellow and 20 blocks are red and 15 blocks are both red and yellow.
First calculate second question:
Are only yellow (20) vs yellow (35)
Difference
Blocks are exactly yellow
Similarly, Red Red blocks
Total blocks Blocks
In shortcut way to find total block
3 Circle Venn Diagram – Visualization
35 are yellow, 20 are red, 30 are blue, 5- yellow and red, 2 red & blue, 2 - blue & yellow, 6 have only 2 colors.
1. Only red (14) vs. red (20)
2. Only/exactly red and yellow (4) vs. red and yellow (1)
3. Only/exactly either red or yellow (43) vs. either red or yellow (45) vs. either red or yellow or both (50)
4. Are not either red or yellow (27) vs. are not both red and yellow (72)
5. Red and one other color (5) vs. red and other color (6)
6. Exactly 2 colors (6) vs. at least 2 colors (7)
7. All three (1) and total (77)
We find the center region which has 3 colors
Center region is 1.
1. Only Red vs. Red
Total red block
Subtract
Difference is only red blocks.
2. Only/Exactly Red and Yellow vs. Red and Yellow
Exactly red and yellow both color block
Red and yellow
3. Only/Exactly Either Red or Yellow vs. Either Red or Yellow vs. Either Red or Yellow or Both
Yellow and 14 Red
Total
Either red or yellow but not both
Either red or yellow or both
4. Are Not Either Red or Yellow (27) vs. Are Not Both Red and Yellow (72)
That means only blue
Not both red and yellow
5. Red and One Other Color (5) vs. Red and Other Color (6)
Red and one other color
Red and other color
6. Exactly 2 Colors (6) vs. At Least 2 Colors (7)
Only 2 colors
At least 2 color means wither 3 colors
7. All Three (1) and Total (77)
Total number of blocks

In Examination, 65% of the Students Passed in Mathematics, 48% Passed in Physics, and 30% Passed in Both. What Percent of Students Failed in Both the Subjects? If There Are 200 Students, then Find the Number of Failed Students
65% of the students passed in Mathematics
48% passed in Physics and 30% passed in both
In square represent total number of students
Area out of the circle region was the students failed in both subjects.
Total students
So, 83% of students actually pass one of the subjects.
Area out of the circle failed in both the subjects.
Absolute value 17% of student failed out of 100
So, 200 of students failed in both the subjects.
In an Examination 20% of the Students Failed in Math, 15% in English, and 25% in Hindi. If 5% Failed Math & English, 10% Failed English & Hindi, 15% Failed Math and Hindi, and 2% Failed All the Three Subjects, Find Percent of Students Who Passed in All Three Subjects
Find out the area inside the circle:
So, 32% of students are failed in one of the subjects.
So, 68% of students are passed in all three subjects.
