1010 have none of the three.

Explanation:

1010 students have all three.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of the 4040 students who have a T-Rex and an iPad, 1010 students also have a cell phone (they have all three). So 3030 students have a T-Rex and an iPad but not all three.

Of the 3030 students who had an iPad and a cell-phone, 1010 students have all three. So 2020 student have an iPad and a cell-phone but not all three.

Of the 6060 students who had a T-Rex and a cell-phone, 1010 students have all three. So 5050 students have a T-Rex and a cell-phone but not all three.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of the 100100 students who have a T-Rex, 1010 have all three, 3030 also have (only) an iPad, and 5050 also have (only) a cell-phone.
So 100-(10+30+50)=10100(10+30+50)=10 have only a T-Rex.

Similarly, 70-(10+30+20)=1070(10+30+20)=10 have only an iPad.

And 140-(10+20+50)=60140(10+20+50)=60 have only a cell-phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{: ("T-Rex","iPad","cell-phone",,"number of students"), ("Y","Y","Y",,10), ("Y","Y","N",,30), ("N","Y","Y",,20), ("Y","N","Y",,50), ("Y","N","N",,10), ("N","Y","N",,10), ("N","N","Y",,60), (,,,"total:",190) :}

So out of 200 students 190 have at least one of these devices.

rArr 200-190=10 students do not have any of these devices.

Here is how the distribution would appear in a Venn diagram:
