Best answer
Let U be the set of all students in the group.
Let E be the set of all students who know English.
Let H be the set of all students who know Hindi.
∴ H ∪ E = U
Accordingly, n(H) = 100 and n(E) = 50
n( H U E ) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
= 100 + 50 – 25
= 125
Hence, there are 125 students in the group.
