Correct answer: B. 3
Explanation
People reading at least one language = 15 − 3 = 12. By the addition rule, n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) − n(H ∩ E), so 12 = 7 + 8 − n(H ∩ E). Hence n(H ∩ E) = 15 − 12 = 3.कम-से-कम एक भाषा पढ़ने वाले व्यक्ति = 15 − 3 = 12। योग-नियम से n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) − n(H ∩ E), अर्थात् 12 = 7 + 8 − n(H ∩ E)। अतः दोनों पढ़ने वाले = 15 − 12 = 3।More Reasoning & Mental Ability questions
