Houses Can Default In Consecutive Months Only. 20 Defaulted In January And February. 10 Defaulted In February And March. How Many Houses Defaulted In All The 3 Months?

Answer»

We use formula for intersection of three sets, keeping in mind that Jan ∩ Mar does not exist, SINCE they are not consecutive months.

Let X be the number of people defaulting in all 3 months.

We GET the equation as : 125 = 50 + 60 + 40 – 20 – 10 + x. Solving we get x = 5.
