Lets Assume
No. of students know both English and Hindi = x

No. of students know English (only) = 20-x
No. of students know Hindi (only) = 80-x

Now
20-x + 80-x + x = 100 - 10
=> x = 10

So the number of students know both English and Hindi are 10

English (E) = 20
Hindi (H) = 100 -20 =80
English+Hindi (EH)
100-H-E+(EH) = 10
100-80-20+EH =10
EH=10
