Explanatory Answer

We fill in he Venn diagram with the information provided in the question.

200 did not choose Business Statistics means the remaining 200 chose it and similarly, 100 did not choose International management means 300 chose it.
We have to find the students who choose both Business Statistics and International Management, which is the common part of the two circles, lets say its x.



Then, BS + IM – BS ∪ IM = BS ∩ IM
200 + 300 – x = 400 – 80
Therefore, x = 180
