ANS: 44
5% is equal to 6 so 6 musicians can play all three.

30 can play any two or only two.
40 can play guitar alone.

so the number of musicians who can play flute or violin alone would be 120 - (30+40+6) = 120 - 76 =44

Out of total 120 musicians 40 can play only Guitar. That leaves remaining 80 persons of which 30 can play only two or any two instruments. Excluding this we now have 50 persons of which 6 persons (5% of 120) can play all the three instruments. Excluding this we now have 44 persons who can now either play Violin or flute alone.
