Question

In a survey of 100 people, 60 like tea, 50 like coffee, and 25 like both tea and coffee. How many people like neither tea nor coffee ?

The correct answer is
25

Analyzing the Survey Data

The goal is to find the number of people who like neither tea nor coffee from the given survey results.

Given Survey Information

  • Total surveyed: 100
  • Likes Tea (|T|): 60
  • Likes Coffee (|C|): 50
  • Likes Both Tea and Coffee (|T ∩ C|): 25

Calculating Union of Preferences

First, determine the number of people who like at least one beverage (Tea or Coffee or Both). This is calculated using the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion:

$|T \cup C| = |T| + |C| - |T \cap C|$

Substituting the values:

$|T \cup C| = 60 + 50 - 25$

$|T \cup C| = 110 - 25$

$|T \cup C| = 85$

So, 85 people like tea, coffee, or both.

Determining Those Who Like Neither

To find the number of people who like neither drink, subtract the count of those who like at least one drink from the total number of people surveyed:

Number liking Neither = Total People - $|T \cup C|$

Calculation:

$100 - 85 = 15$

Therefore, 15 people like neither tea nor coffee.

Important Questions from Set Theory and Venn Diagram (Notes)

  1. Match List-I with List-II
     

    List-1List-II
    (A) If X and Y are two sets such that n(X)= 17, n(Y)=23, n(X $\cup$ Y)=38, then n(X $\cap$ Y) is(I) 20
    (B)) If n(X) = 28,n(Y) = 32,n(X$\cap$Y) = 10, then n(X$\cup$Y) is(II) 10
    (C) If n(X) = 10, then n(7X) is(III) 50
    (D) If n(Y) = 20, then n($\frac{Y}{2}$) is(IV) 2
