Solution

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
