Cevap
The number of industrial plants that met exactly two pollution control standards is 30.
The number of plants that met at least one standard is . Using the inclusion-exclusion principle for three sets, , which yields . The intersection values given () include these plants. To isolate the plants meeting *exactly two* standards, we subtract from each intersection and sum the remaining values: .
