The problem describes a survey conducted at the "Sip Sayura" educational institute regarding students studying courses in different languages. We are given the following information: - Total number of students: 180 - Number of students studying Sinhala: 105 - Number of students studying Tamil: 62 - Number of students studying Tamil and English: 46 - Number of students studying other languages: 20 - No student studies all three languages (Sinhala, Tamil, English). - No student studies both Sinhala and English. We are asked to: (i) Complete the given Venn diagram based on the information. (ii) Find the number of students studying exactly two languages. (iii) If 5 new students are enrolled who study all three languages, redraw the Venn diagram to include them, shading the region representing this group.

1. Problem Description

The problem describes a survey conducted at the "Sip Sayura" educational institute regarding students studying courses in different languages. We are given the following information:

- Total number of students: 180

- Number of students studying Sinhala: 105

- Number of students studying Tamil: 62

- Number of students studying Tamil and English: 46

- Number of students studying other languages: 20

- No student studies all three languages (Sinhala, Tamil, English).

- No student studies both Sinhala and English.

We are asked to:

(i) Complete the given Venn diagram based on the information.

(ii) Find the number of students studying exactly two languages.

(iii) If 5 new students are enrolled who study all three languages, redraw the Venn diagram to include them, shading the region representing this group.

2. Solution Steps

(i) Completing the Venn Diagram:

Let S, T, and E represent the sets of students studying Sinhala, Tamil, and English, respectively.

We know that the total number of students is

8

0. $n(S) = 105$

$n(T) = 62$

$n(T \cap E) = 46$

Other languages = 20

$n(S \cap T \cap E) = 0$

$n(S \cap E) = 0$

Let $n(T \cap E) = 46$ be represented by a.

Let $n(S \cap T)$ be represented by b. We need to find b.

Let $n(S \text{ only})$ be represented by c. Then $c = n(S) - b = 105-b$

Let $n(T \text{ only})$ be represented by d. Then $d = n(T) - a -b = 62 - 46-b= 16-b$

Let $n(E \text{ only})$ be represented by e.

The number of students studying at least one of the languages S, T, or E is $180-20=160$ (since 20 students are taking other languages).

Thus $n(S \cup T \cup E) = n(S)+ n(T) + n(E) - n(S \cap T) - n(S \cap E) - n(T \cap E) + n(S \cap T \cap E)$.

Since $n(S \cap E) = 0$ and $n(S \cap T \cap E) = 0$:

$160 = n(S)+ n(T) + n(E) - n(S \cap T) - n(T \cap E)$

$160 = 105 + 62 + n(E) -b -46$

$160= 121 + n(E) -b$

$n(E) = 39 + b$

$n(E \text{ only})= n(E) - n(T \cap E) = 39 + b -46 = b-7$

The total number of students studying at least one language is also given by:

$n(S \cup T \cup E) = n(S \text{ only}) + n(T \text{ only}) + n(E \text{ only}) + n(S \cap T) + n(S \cap E) + n(T \cap E) - n(S \cap T \cap E) = (105 - b) + (16 - b) + (b - 7) + b + 0 + 46 + 0$

$160 = (105 - b) + (16 - b) + (b - 7) + b + 46$

$160 = 105 + 16 - 7 + 46 = 160$

So $b$ can be any value such that $16-b>0$ and $b-7>0$, i.e. $7<b<16$

(ii) Number of students studying exactly two languages:

Students studying exactly two languages are those in $S \cap T$ or $T \cap E$ or $S \cap E$.

Since we are told Sinhala and English have no students, $n(S \cap E)=0$.

The number is $n(S \cap T) + n(T \cap E) = b+46$.

Using the previous result $7 < b < 16$ it is difficult to be very precise.

However, considering the diagram and the context, it might be intended that we assume $b=0$ which would mean the areas of the individual circles are disjoint, leaving just

6.

$n(E)= 39$, and $n(T \text{ only}) = 16$.

Then the number of students studying exactly two languages is $46$.

(iii) If 5 new students are enrolled who study all three languages:

We redraw the Venn diagram and shade the intersection $S \cap T \cap E$ to represent these 5 students.

3. Final Answer

(i) Venn Diagram: (Completed based on the steps described above)

(ii) The number of students studying exactly two languages is

6. (iii) Redraw the Venn diagram with a shaded region for the intersection of S, T, and E, indicating 5 students.
