1. take English and niether of the other two? 
36-6 that we know take all 3
This leave 30.
Subtract the 6 from those taking history and English.  Leaves 10.
Subtract the 10 from those taking English. 
This leaves 20.
Subtract the 6 from those taking political science and English.  Leaves 8.
Subtract 8 from those taking English.
Leaves 12

2. take none of the three courses? 

3. take history, but niether of the other two 
Do the same with history as we did with English.
32-6 = 26 -10=16-10=6

4. take political science and history but not english 
16-6 (that take all 3) = 10

Hope at least the partial answer helps!
