Last year, there were three sections in a competitive exam.
Out of them 33 students cleared the cut-off in Section A, 34 students cleared the cut-off in Section B and 32 students cleared the cut-off in Section C.
10 students cleared the cut-off in section A and section B, 9 cleared the cut-off in section B and section C and 8 cleared the cut-off in section A and section C.
The number of students who cleared only one section was equal and was 21 for each section.
Number of students who cleared all the three sections = Students who cleared the cut-off in section A and section B + Students who cleared the cut-off in section B and section C + Students who cleared the cut-off in section A and section C - The number of students who cleared only one section
= (10 + 8 + 9) - 21
= 27 - 21
= 6
Hence, ‘6’ is the correct answer.
