There are 50 students admitted to a nursery class. Some students can speak only English and some can speak only Hindi. 10 students can speak both English and Hindi. If the number of students who can speak English is 21, then how many students can speak Hindi, how many can speak only Hindi and how many can speak only English? Correct Answer 39, 29 and 11 respectively

The number of students in the class = the number of students who can speak English + the number of students who can speak Hindi - the number of students who can speak both
50 = 21 - 10 + the number of students who can speak Hindi
The number of students who can speak Hindi = 39
The number of students who can speak Hindi only = 39 - 10 = 29
The number of students who can speak English only = 21 - 10 = 11
  

Hence, 39 students can speak Hindi, 29 students can speak only Hindi, and 11 students can speak only English.
