Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 25 Concept: Let A and B denote two sets of elements.
Calculations: Let A be the set of students who read "Hitavad" and B the set of students who read "Hindustan". From the given information: n(A ⋃ B) = 50 - 10 = 40. n(A) = 30. n(B) = 35. By using n(A ⋃ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ⋂ B), we get: 40 = 30 + 35 - n(A ⋂ B) ⇒ n(A ⋂ B) = 25. ∴ The number of students who read both "Hitavad" and "Hindustan" newspapers is n(A ⋂ B) = 25. |
