Step-by-step explanation:
Let C denote the set of people who like coffee, and T denote the set of people who like tea
n(C∪T)=70,n(C)=37,n(T)=52
We know that:
n(C∪T)=n(C)+n(T)−n(C∩T)
∴70=37+52−n(C∩T)
⇒70=89−n(C∩T)
⇒n(C∩T)=89−70=19
Thus, 19 people like both coffee and tea

_______________________________
- Let c be the set of people who like coffee.
- Let T be the set of people who like Tea.
- Total number of people, n(T U C) = 70
- Number of people who like coffee, n (C) = 37
- Number of people who like Tea, n(T) = 52
_______________________________
n ( T U C) = n( T ) + n(C) - n(T U C)
Substituting the values:
70 = 52 + 37 - n(T U C)
70 = 89 - n( T U C )
n ( T U C ) = 89 - 70
⁂ n ( T ∩ C ) = 19.
Thus, 19 people like both Tea and Coffee.
