| The answer is 45 people read all the three news papers and 321 people read only one news paper. Just draw a venn diagram with three circles and mark the corresponding parts using the given data. If you take the intersection part of all the 3 circles as 'x'. three expressios are formed as follows: 285-(20+29+x),212-(29+35+x) and 127-(20+35+x).these equations will giv people reading hindu,indian exp and times of india respectively. add (20+29+35+x) and 285-(20+29+x),212-(29+35+x) and 127-(20+35+x) and equate it to 450. x gives the intersection of 3 circles. then u can find individual readers by sybstituting in the expressions 285-(20+29+x),212-(29+35+x) and 127-(20+35+x). |
