Detailed Solution

A simple application of inclusion-Exclusion Principle.
Let X= the set of students who take the examination.
A = the set O students who pass in English
B = the set of students who pass in Mathematics
We are given that  n(x)=105,  n(A)=80,  n(B)=75,  n(AB)=60
Since,  n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB).
Therefore,  n(AB)=80+7560=95.
The required number  n(x)n(AB)=10595=10
 Thus, 10 students fail in both subjects.
