Answer:7

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by Venn-diagram

Given there are total 5 students who want french and Latin

also 3 among them want Spanish, french & Latin

i. e. only 2 students wants both french and Latin only.

Also Student who want only Latin is 5

Thus Student who wants Latin and Spanish both only is 11-5-3-2=1

Students who want only Spanish is 8 Thus students who wants Spanish and French is 4

Similarly Students who wants Only French is 16-4-3-2=7
