How many people read only Times of India?(a) 200(b) 400(c) 600(d) 700This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.My question is from Practical Problems on Union and Intersection of Two Sets in division Sets of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT option is (B) 400

Best explanation: Since all people read NEWSPAPER so, n (T ∪ H) = 1000.

n(H) = 600 and n(T) = 700.

n (T ∪ H) = n (T) + n (H) – n (T ∩ H)

1000 = 700 + 600 – n (T ∩ H)

n (T ∩ H) = 1300-1000 = 300.

n (T ∩ H’) = n (T) – n (T ∩ H) = 700-300 = 400.

400 persons read only Hindustan Times.
