In a survey of 60 people, it was found that 25 people read newspaper H, 26 read newspaper T, 26 read newspaper I, 9 read both H and I, 11 read both H and T, 8 read both T and I, 3 read all three newspapers. Find:
(i) The number of people who read at least one of the newspapers.
(ii) The number of people who read exactly one newspaper
(i) Let us assume that,
A = the set of people who read newspaper H
B = the set of people who read newspaper T
C = the set of people who read newspaper I
According to the question,
Number of people who read newspaper H, n (A) = 25
Number of people who read newspaper T, n (B) = 26
Number of people who read the newspaper I, n (C) = 26
Number of people who read both newspaper H and I, n (A ∩ C) = 9
Number of people who read both newspaper H and T, n (A ∩ B) = 11
Number of people who read both newspaper T and I, n (B ∩ C) = 8
And, Number of people who read all three newspaper H, T and I, n (A ∩ B ∩ C) = 3
Now, we have to find the number of people who read at least one of the newspaper
we get.
= 25 + 26 + 26 – 11 – 8 – 9 + 3
= 80 – 28
= 52
There are a total of 52 students who read at least one newspaper.
(ii) Let us assume that,
a = the number of people who read newspapers H and T only
b = the number of people who read newspapers I and H only
c = the number of people who read newspapers T and I only
d = the number of people who read all three newspapers
According to the question,
D = n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 3
Now, we have:
n(A ∩ B) = a + d
n(B ∩ C) = c + d
And,
n(C ∩ A) = b + d
a + d + c +d + b + d = 11 + 8 + 9
a + b + c + d = 28 – 2d
= 28 – 6
= 22
Number of people read exactly one newspaper = 52 – 22
= 30 people
