Concept:

Complement of X = U - X, where U is a universal set.

 

Calculation:

We know, n(X) + n(Y) + n(Z) - n(X ∩ Y) - n(Y ∩ Z) - n(X ∩ Z) + n(X ∩ Y ∩ Z) = n(X ∪ Y ∪ Z)

Here U - n(X ∪ Y  ∪ Z) = p, whre U is a universal set 

⇒ U - (a + b + 106) = p

⇒ U = p + (a + b + 106) 

Now the number of elements in the complement of X, U - n(X) = p + (a + b + 106) - (a + 16 + 18 + 12)

= p + b + 60

Hence, option (1) is correct.
