Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 32

Let D be the set of students who like drawing and M the set who like music. Students liking at least one activity are in D ∪ M. By the inclusion-exclusion formula, n(D ∪ M) = n(D) + n(M) − n(D ∩ M) = 22 + 16 − 6 = 32. We subtract the 6 students who like both because they were counted twice.
