Question: A premier B-school, which is in process of getting an AACSB accreditation, has 360 second year students. To incorporate sustainability into their curriculum, it has offered 3 new elective subjects in the second year namely Green Supply Chain, Global Climate Change & Business and Corporate Governance. Twelve students have taken all the three electives, and 120 students study Green Supply Chain. There are twice as many students who study Green Supply Chain and Corporate Governance but not Global Climate Change and Business, as those who study both Green Supply Chain and Global Climate Change & Business but not Corporate Governance, and 4 times as many who study all the three. 124 students study Corporate Governance. There are 72 students who could not muster up the courage to take up any of these subjects. The group of students who study both Green Supply Chain and Corporate Governance but not global Climate Change & Business is exactly the same as the group made up to the students who study both Global Climate Change & Business and Corporate Governance. How many students study Global Climate Change & Business only?
The number of students who study each combination of subjects (based on the direct data) given is as shown below:
∴ 2x = 4(12) i.e. x = 24
Also: (GSC and CG but not GCCB) = (all three electives) + (GCCB and CG but not GSC)
Hence, option (b).
