Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

Students studying only Mathematics are 38 − 20 = 18, because the 20 students studying both subjects must be excluded. Students studying only Physics are 32 − 20 = 12. Therefore, the number studying exactly one subject is 18 + 12 = 30. Equivalently, this is 38 + 32 − 2(20) = 30.
