Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e 20.
60 students participated in one or more of the three competitions, i. e. Quiz, and Debate. A total of 22 students participated either in Quiz only or in Extempore only.
4 students participated in all three competitions.
A total of 14 students participated in any of the two competitions only.
Number of students who participated in Debate only = 60 - (22 + 4 + 14) = 60 -
40 = 20
Hence, '20' students participated in debate only.
