The correct answer is:
14
$\begin{aligned} 300=125+145+90-\\ &(|A \cap B|+|B \cap C|+|A \cap C|)+|A \cap B \cap C| \\ &|A \cap B|+|B \cap C|+|A \cap C| \\ &=60+|A \cap B \cap C|...(i) \end{aligned}$
Again, $|A \cap B|+|B \cap C|+|A \cap C|-3|A \cap B \cap C|=32$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow|A \cap B|+\mid B & \cap C|+| A \cap C \mid \\ &=32+3|A \cap B \cap C|...(ii) \end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii) $|A \cap B \cap C|=14$
