Solution :-

We have,

A total number of people = 70

Number of people who like Coffee = n (C) = 37

Number of people who like Tea = n (T) = 52

Total number = n (C ∪ T) = 70

Person who likes both would be n (C ∩ T)

We know,

n (C ∪ T) = n (C) + n (T) – n (C ∩ T)

Substituting the values we get

70 = 37 + 52 – n (C ∩ T)

70 = 89 – n (C ∩ T)

n (C ∩ T) =19

There are 19 persons who like both coffee and tea.
