How many can teach both ES and EM but not TD? Correct Answer 1

Explanation:

Given: There are 11 ES teachers.
Of these, 6 are given to be able to teach only ES.
Therefore, 11 – 6 = 5 teachers have the possibility of fulfilling the given condition.
It is given that 4 can teach ES and TD.
Therefore, the number of persons able to teach ES and EM but not TD = 5 – 4 = 1.
