Question

In a party of 45 people, each one likes tea or coffee or both. 35 people like tea and 20 people like coffee. Find the number of people who do not like tea

Diagram
Sum

Solution

Let ’T’ be the set of people like Tea

Let ‘C’ be the set of people like Coffee

n(T ∩ C) = 45, n(T) = 35 and n(C) = 20

Let X be the number of people like both Tea and Coffee.

By using the Venn-diagram

From the Venn-diagram we get.

35 – x + x + 20 – x = 45

55 – x = 45

55 – 45 = x

10 = x

People do not like tea

= 20 – x

= 20 – 10

= 10
