ii) Finding the number of people who read both newspapers:
Given information:
Total people: n(U)=900
People who read Madhupark: n(M)=525
People who read Yubamanch: n(Y)=450
People who read neither: n(M∪Y)=75
First, find the number of people who read at least one newspaper:
n(M∪Y)=n(U)−n(M∪Y)=900−75=825
Using the inclusion-exclusion principle:
n(M∪Y)=n(M)+n(Y)−n(M∩Y)
Substitute the known values:
825=525+450−n(M∩Y)
Simplify:
825=975−n(M∩Y)
Solve for n(M∩Y):
n(M∩Y)=975−825=150
Therefore, 150 people read both newspapers.
iii) Finding the number of people who read only one newspaper:
People who read only Madhupark:
no(M)=n(M)−n(M∩Y)=525−150=375
People who read only Yubamanch:
no(Y)=n(Y)−n(M∩Y)=450−150=300
Total people who read only one newspaper:
no(M)+no(Y)=375+300=675
Verification:
no(M)+no(Y)+n(M∩Y)+n(M∪Y)=375+300+150+75=900 ✓

Question 7
a) Among 95 people of a community, it was surveyed that the ratio of the number of people who drink tea and coffee is 4:5, whereas 10 people drink tea only but 15 do not drink either tea or coffee. Based on the information, answer the following questions:
Show the information in a Venn-diagram.
Find the number of people who drinks exactly one of tea or coffee.
Find the number of people who drinks at least one; either tea or coffee.
Solution:
Finding the values first:
Given information:
Total people: n(U)=95
Ratio of tea drinkers to coffee drinkers: n(T):n(C)=4:5
People who drink tea only: no(T)=10
People who drink neither: n(T∪C)=15
Let n(T)=4k and n(C)=5k for some constant k.
i) Venn Diagram:
Since people who drink tea only = total tea drinkers - people who drink both:
no(T)=n(T)−n(T∩C)10=4k−n(T∩C)n(T∩C)=4k−10
Using the universal set formula:
n(U)=no(T)+no(C)+n(T∩C)+n(T∪C)
We know no(C)=n(C)−n(T∩C)=5k−(4k−10)=k+10
Substitute into the universal set formula:
95=10+(k+10)+(4k−10)+1595=25+5k70=5kk=14
Therefore:
n(T)=4k=4(14)=56
n(C)=5k=5(14)=70
n(T∩C)=4k−10=56−10=46
no(C)=k+10=14+10=24
ii) Finding people who drink exactly one of tea or coffee:
People who drink exactly one beverage:
no(T)+no(C)=10+24=34
Therefore, 34 people drink exactly one of tea or coffee.
iii) Finding people who drink at least one beverage:
People who drink at least one beverage:
n(T∪C)=n(U)−n(T∪C)=95−15=80
Alternatively:
n(T∪C)=no(T)+no(C)+n(T∩C)=10+24+46=80
Therefore, 80 people drink at least one beverage.
Verification:
Let's verify our answer:
People who drink tea only: no(T)=10
People who drink coffee only: no(C)=24
People who drink both: n(T∩C)=46
People who drink neither: n(T∪C)=15
no(T)+no(C)+n(T∩C)+n(T∪C)=10+24+46+15=95 ✓
Ratio verification:
n(T):n(C)=56:70=4:5 ✓
Additional information:
Total mobile users: n(M)=no(M)+n(T∩C)=56+46=102

b) In a survey of 64 students of a class, the ratio of number of students who like milk only and curd only is 2:1 whereas 16 like both. Based on this information, answer the following questions:
Show the above information in a Venn-diagram.
Find the number of students who like milk.
Find the number of students who like only one kind of drink.
Solution:
Finding the values first:
Given information:
Total students: n(U)=64
Ratio of milk only to curd only: no(M):no(C)=2:1
Students who like both: n(M∩C)=16
Let no(M)=2k and no(C)=k for some constant k.
i) Venn Diagram:
Assuming all students like at least one drink (since no information about "neither" is given):
n(U)=no(M)+no(C)+n(M∩C)+n(M∪C)
With n(M∪C)=0:
64=2k+k+16+0 64=3k+16 48=3k k=16
Therefore:
Students who like milk only: no(M)=2k=2(16)=32
Students who like curd only: no(C)=k=16
Students who like both: n(M∩C)=16
Students who like neither: n(M∪C)=0
ii) Finding the number of students who like milk:
Total students who like milk:
n(M)=no(M)+n(M∩C)=32+16=48
Therefore, 48 students like milk.
iii) Finding students who like only one kind of drink:
Students who like only one kind of drink:
no(M)+no(C)=32+16=48
Therefore, 48 students like only one kind of drink.
Verification:
Let's verify our answer:
Students who like milk only: no(M)=32
Students who like curd only: no(C)=16
Students who like both: n(M∩C)=16
Students who like neither: n(M∪C)=0
no(M)+no(C)+n(M∩C)+n(M∪C)=32+16+16+0=64 ✓
Ratio verification:
no(M):no(C)=32:16=2:1 ✓
Additional information:
Total students who like curd: n(C)=no(C)+n(M∩C)=16+16=32
Students who like at least one drink: n(M∪C)=64−0=64

c) In a conference of 320 participants, it was surveyed that 60 participants only sing and 100 only dance. If the number of people who do not do both is three times the number of people who do both. With the help of this information, answer the following questions:
Show the above information in a Venn-diagram.
Find how many people do not do both genres.
Find the number of people who do one genre at most.
Solution:
Finding the values first:
Given information:
Total participants: n(U)=320
People who only sing: no(S)=60
People who only dance: no(D)=100
People who do not do both = 3 × (people who do both)
Let n(S∩D)=x (people who do both activities).
Then the number of people who do not do both = 3x.
i) Venn Diagram:
Note: "People who do not do both" means people who do neither activity.
So n(S∪D)=3x
Using the universal set formula:
n(U)=no(S)+no(D)+n(S∩D)+n(S∪D)
Substitute the known values:
320=60+100+x+3x 320=160+4x 160=4x x=40
Therefore:
People who do both: n(S∩D)=40
People who do neither: n(S∪D)=3x=3(40)=120
ii) Finding people who do not do both genres:
People who do not do both genres means people who do neither activity:
n(S∪D)=120
Therefore, 120 people do not do both genres.
iii) Finding people who do one genre at most:
People who do one genre at most means people who do:
Only singing, OR
Only dancing, OR
Neither activity
This excludes people who do both activities.
People who do one genre at most=no(S)+no(D)+n(S∪D) =60+100+120=280
Alternatively:
People who do one genre at most=n(U)−n(S∩D)=320−40=280
Therefore, 280 people do one genre at most.
Verification:
Let's verify our answer:
People who only sing: no(S)=60
People who only dance: no(D)=100
People who do both: n(S∩D)=40
People who do neither: n(S∪D)=120
no(S)+no(D)+n(S∩D)+n(S∪D)=60+100+40+120=320 ✓
Relationship verification:
n(S∪D)=3×n(S∩D)120=3×40=120 ✓
Additional information:
Total singers: n(S)=no(S)+n(S∩D)=60+40=100
Total dancers: n(D)=no(D)+n(S∩D)=100+40=140
People who do at least one activity: n(S∪D)=320−120=200
