Condition 6 tells us p – 1 = 7. G-total = 17. G and something else = 10. G-only should be 7.

Now we know that the total = 39.

From condition 5,
Number of students in L = 4 + 5 + 8 + 6 – x = 23- x.
Number of students in K = 4 + 5 + 9 + x = 18 + x.
We know that 23 – x > 18 + x.
5 > 2x. x < \\frac{5}{2}).
x could be 0, 1 or 2.
CAT DI LR 2018 Slot 2
For 6 - x to be minimum, x should be maximum i.e. x should take 2.
Therefore the minimum number of students enrolled in both G and L but not in K is 4.

The question is "What is the minimum number of students enrolled in both G and L but not in K? [TITA]"

Hence, the answer is 4
