In a group of 89 students, 36 are taking History, and 32 are taking Statistics. If 59 students are taking History or Statistics or both, then how many students are taking History but not Statistics? Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 9 B) 19 C) 27 D) 26 E) 31

Rationale: "number of students taking history = h = 36 number of students taking statistics = s = 32 total number of students = t = 89 number of students taking history or statistics or both = b = 59 number of students taking neither history nor statistics = n = 89 - 59 = 30 letxbe the number of students taking both history and statistics . then t = h + s + n - x or 89 = 36 + 32 + 30 - x or x = 9 now , number of students taking only history will be h - x or 36 - 9 = 27 answer : - c"
Answer: C
