An investigator interviewed 100 students to determine the performance of three drinks: milk, coffee and tea.

The investigator reported that

\[ n(M\cap C\cap T)=10 \]

\[ n(M\cap C)=20 \]

\[ n(M\cap T)=25 \]

\[ n(C\cap T)=20 \]

Milk only \(=12\), Coffee only \(=5\), Tea only \(=8\)

Solution

Students taking only two drinks:

\[ (M\cap C)\text{ only}=20-10=10 \]

\[ (M\cap T)\text{ only}=25-10=15 \]

\[ (C\cap T)\text{ only}=20-10=10 \]

Total students taking at least one drink:

\[ 12+5+8+10+15+10+10 \]

\[ =70 \]

Therefore, students taking none:

\[ 100-70=30 \]

Answer

\[ \boxed{30} \]

Correct option: (d)
