THEY OBSERVED THAT 10 HAVE DIARRHEOA
This is the same type as your other post.
Only this time you don't add anybody not belonging to either set.
PLZ SOLVE it
To determine the total number of patients observed during the consultation, we need to add the number of patients with diarrhea and the number of patients with constipation and diarrhea.
From the given information, we know that five patients have diarrhea, and seven patients have both constipation and diarrhea. This means that these seven patients are already included in the count of patients with diarrhea.
So, we need to add the number of patients with constipation and diarrhea (seven) to the number of patients with diarrhea (five) to find the total number of patients observed: 7 + 5 = 12.
Therefore, the medical observed a total of twelve patients during the consultation.
