Students who took all three courses = 14

Students who took only Drama and Singing course = 28 – 14 = 14

Students who took only Drama and Dance course = 26 – 14 = 12

Students who took only Dance and Singing course = 22 – 14 = 8

Students who took only Drama course = 64 – (14 + 14 + 12) = 24

Students who took only Dance course = 94 – (12 + 14 + 8) = 60

Students who took Singing course = 58 – (14 + 14 + 8) = 22

∴ Total number of students who had taken only one course are

⇒ 24 + 60 + 22

⇒ 106
