    Solution

    ATQ,

    We're looking for the number of people who like Mint but NOT Kesar. From the Venn diagram: 21 people like only Mint (they don’t like Kesar or Vanilla). 20 people like both Mint and Vanilla, but not Kesar. 12 people like both Mint and Kesar → we don’t want to count them. So, we add only those who like Mint but not Kesar = 21+20 = 41
