In a group of 400 people, 250 can speak Hindi and 200 can speak English. How many people can speak both Hindi and English?
In a committee, 50 people speak French, 20 speak Spanish and 10 speak both Spanish and French. How many speak at least one of these two languages?
Set A = set of people who speak English
We have to find n(A)
Set B = set of peoplewho speak Hindi.
Number of people who speak English but not Hindi = n(A-B)
....(i)
Number of people who speak both English and Hindi
....(ii)
from (i) and (ii), we have
n(A) - 50 = 30
n(A) = 50+30 = 80
Hence, the number of people who speak English
= n(A) = 80
