Vacation timeIt was vacation time, and so I decided to visit my cousin's home. What a grand time we had! In the mornings, we both would go for a jog. The evenings were spent on the tennis court. Tiring as these activities were, we could manage only one per day, i.e., either we went for a jog or played tennis each day. There were days when we felt lazy and stayed home all day long. Now, there were 12 mornings when we did nothing, 18 evenings when we stayed at home, and a total of 14 days

Use sets and venn diagram to solve such questions.a,b ,aub,anb etc.12=tennis+leave18=jog +leaveso jog-tennis=6again jog+tennis=14.so solve and get jog=10,leave=8,tennis=4.so tot=22
