60 students take an exam with two questions a andbb. If 35 students solve question a, 28 solve question b, and 5 students solve neither of the two questions, how many students solved only question a?

5 students solved neither question  leaving 55

 

 

35 + 28 = 63      which is 8 more than 55   ....so there must be an '8' overlap .....
