Correct answer: B. 15
Explanation
n(H ∪ U) = n(H) + n(U) − n(H ∩ U) gives 40 = 25 + n(U) − 20, i.e. n(U) = 35, which is not among the options. The official key marks 15, which is the number of people who speak only Urdu (40 − 25 = 15); adding the 20 bilinguals to it gives the 35 Urdu speakers.n(H ∪ U) = n(H) + n(U) − n(H ∩ U) से 40 = 25 + n(U) − 20, अर्थात् n(U) = 35, जो विकल्पों में नहीं है। आधिकारिक कुंजी 15 को सही मानती है, जो केवल उर्दू बोलने वालों की संख्या है (40 − 25 = 15); इसमें 20 द्विभाषी जोड़ने पर कुल उर्दू बोलने वाले 35 होते हैं।More Logical Reasoning questions
