No it must be 16....
Since H+D=22
T+D=23
ALL=15
then 76=22+23+15+(H+T)
H+T=76-60=16...
Any one please comment.....

n(H u T u D) = n(H) + n(T) + n(D) + n(H n T n D) - n(H n D) - n( T n D) - n(H n T)
--> 76 = 53+46+39+15 - 22 - 23 - x
--> 76 = 153 - 55 - x
--> x = 153 - 131
--> x = 22.
So, number of people who can read only Hindu and Times is 22.

I would like to share my answer and approach, even if I may not take the accenture exam.Those who speak Hindu and Deccan (HD) include those who speak all the languages. When we subtract (22 (HD) -15 (ALL)), we get the people who speak only the HD combination. We do the same thing (23 (DT) -15 (ALL)) for people who speak only Deccan and Times (DT). This leads us to a subtraction of these people from the greater whole. For the Hindu speakers, we get (53 (H) -15 (ALL) -7 (HD)=) 31 candidates who could either be only Hindu speakers or Hindu-Times speakers. For the Times speakers, we get (46 (T) -15 (ALL) -8 (DT)=) 23 candidates. We figure that there is some intersection between these figures. So we subtract those non-candidates from the running by subtracting all Deccan speakers from the total (76 (tot) -39 (D)=37(left)). The total is the number of people we have left who can speak either Hindu, Times or Hindu-Times only. We add the possible candidates up (23+21) and from the total, subtract the people we have left (54-37(left)). The answer I got is 17. When we add all of the kinds of speakers up:ALL DECCAN HINDU TIMES DEC/HIN DEC/TIM HIN/TIM TOTAL15 9 14 6 7 8 17 76You get the correct total.

Total(T) is given 73
Hindu readers,n(H)= 53
TOI readers, n(toi)= 46
deccan reader , n(D)=39
and n(H+TOI+D)=15
76= 53+46+38-x-22-23+15

Correct answer:
only H:14
only T:6
The no. of persons reading H n T are 32(53+46+39-22-23-76+15)
Then persons reading only H(53-32-22+15)=14
only T(46-32-23+15)=6

I calculate the answer to be 32 !!! = 15 (given by the problem) + 17 (calcd as 76-23= 37 = (31-y) + (23 -y) + y , where y represented the missing piece between H&T; this piece would be added to 15, so as to represent the ENTIRE H&T section - which is the question..
I used part Venn diagrams to portay it, and then equations to do the final calc (its been a while since I took a discrete math class..so my answer wasnt elegant).

Assume X persons read only times and hindu.
So 76 equal to 53+46+39-(22+23+x)+15.
solve the above we will get x equal to 32.
32 can read times and hindu. so, 32-15 ie, 17 can read only times and hindu.

Hi! you are right. The answer must be 16.
Given details are,
Total number of Readers = 76
Readers of Hindu & Deccan = 22
Readers of Times and Deccan = 23
Readers who read all = 15
And we have to find out the total number of readers who readk ONLY time and Hindu. Therefore the formula is,
Only Time and Hindu Readers = Total number of Readers - ( Reader of Hindu and Deccan + Readers of Time and Deccan + readers who reads all )
i.e, Only T & H Readers ( X )= 76 - ( 22+23+15)
==> X= 76- 60 ===>> 16
We can conclude that the ONLY readers of Time & Hindu is 16
Many thanks

using union law (aubuc)=a+b+c-(anb)-(anc)-(bnc)+(anbnc)
76=53+46+39+15-(22+23)-(bnc)
bnc=32-(anbnc)
bnc=32-15=17

Ans:17
Total=d+t+h-dt-th-hd+dth
76=39+46+53-23-22-ht+15
76=108-ht
ht=108-76
ht=32
We want only times and hindu,so we subtract the value of all papers read is 15 from ht.
so the ans is 32-15=17.
