Given:

Total number of students = 750

The number of students who like red and green colours only  =  70% of 150 students

and The number of students who like red and blue colours only = 60% of 125 students

Calculation:

Let the number of students who like green and blue colours only be a.

Number of students who like red and green colours only = (70/100) × 150

⇒ 105 students

Number of students who like red and blue colours only = (60/100) × 125

⇒ 75 students

Now, The total number of students = 750

⇒ 109 + 150 + 125 + 100 + 105 + 75 + a = 750

⇒ 664 + a = 750

⇒ a = 750 – 664

⇒ a = 86 students

∴ 86 students like both green and blue colors only.
