Detailed Solution

Let M be the set of students passing in Mathematics, P be the set of students passing in Physics and C be the set of students passing in Chemistry.

Now, n(MPC)=50,n(M)=37,n(P)=24n(C)=43

n(MP)19,n(MC)29,n(PC)20                        [given]

n(MPC)=n(M)+n(P)+n(C)n(MP)n(MC)n(PC)+n(MPC)50  37+24+43192920+n(MPC)50n(MPC)5036n(MPC)14

Thus, the largest possible number that could have passed all the three examinations, is 14.
