Detailed Solution

n(A)=40% of 10,000=4,000

n(B)=20% of 10,000=2,000

n(C)=10% of 10,000=1,000

n(AB)=5% of 10,000=500

n(BC) =3% of 10,000=300

n(C A)=4% of 10,000=400

n(ABC)=2% of 10,000=200

We want to find n(ABcCc)=n[A(BC)c] 

= n(A) n[A(BC)]=n(A)n[(AB)(AC)]

=n(A)[n(AB)+n(AC)n(ABC)]

=400-500+400-200=4000-700=3300.
