Step 1 ：Given information:

Step 2 ：\(B = 18\) pupils played badminton

Step 3 ：\(N = 6\) pupils did not play tennis or badminton

Step 4 ：\(T = 21\) pupils played tennis

Step 5 ：\(B \cap T = 5\) pupils played both tennis and badminton

Step 6 ：Find the number of pupils who played only badminton and only tennis:

Step 7 ：\(B - (B \cap T) = 18 - 5 = 13\) pupils played only badminton

Step 8 ：\(T - (B \cap T) = 21 - 5 = 16\) pupils played only tennis

Step 9 ：Find the total number of pupils in the survey:

Step 10 ：\(Total = B + T - (B \cap T) + N = 13 + 16 + 5 + 6 = 40\)

Step 11 ：\(\boxed{40}\) pupils were in the survey
