Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: A table of this kind records a separate count against each activity. The number of students belonging to two activities "together" is the sum of those two individual counts, and the counts of every other activity play no part in that sum.
Application
Read the count recorded against Music: 30 students.
Read the count recorded against Art: 25 students.
Add the two counts: 30 + 25 = 55.
Cross-check: The four counts add up to 45 + 30 + 25 + 40 = 140. Taking away the two activities that were not asked about, namely Sports (45) and Science (40), which come to 85 in all, leaves 140 - 85 = 55, matching the direct addition.
So 55 students took part in Music and Art together.
