    Number of students who secured first class in English only is 20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Find the number of students who secured first class in English only.

    Total number of students who secured first class in English or Maths, T = 80

    Number of students who secured first class in Maths, M = 50

    Number of students who secured first class in both English and Maths, EM = 10

    ⇒ Let the number of students who secured first class in English only be x.

    Total students with first class, T = M + EM + x

    ⇒ 80 = 50 + 10 + x

    ⇒ 80 = 60 + x

    ∴ x = 80 - 60 = 20
