----------------YES---------NO----UNSURE Subject M----500--------200-----100 Subject R----400--------100-----300 A total of 800 students were asked whether they found two subjects, M and R, interesting. Each answer was either yes or no or unsure, and the numbers of students who gave these answers are listed in the table above. If 190 students answered yes only for subject M, how many of the students did not answer yes for either subject? Answers
A) 100  B) 210  C) 300  D) 400  E) 500

Rationale: "since 190 students answered yes only for subject m , then the remaining 310 students who answered yes for subject m , also answered yes for subject r . so , 310 students answered yes for both subjects . if 310 students answered yes for both subjects , then 400 - 310 = 90 students answered yes only for subject r . so , we have that : 200 students answered yes only for subject m ; 90 students answered yes only for subject r ; 300 students answered yes for both subjects ; therefore 800 - ( 200 + 90 + 300 ) = 210 students did not answer yes for either subject . answer : b ."
Answer: B
