Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
i. Let U be the set of students in the hostel, T be the set of students who drink tea and C be the set of students who drink coffee.
n(U) = 125, n(T) = 80, n(C) = 60,
Number of students who drink Tea and Coffee = n(T ∩ C) = 20
ii. n(T ∪ C) = n(T) + n(C) – n(T ∩ C) =
80 + 60 – 20
∴ n(T ∪ C) = 120
∴ 120 students drink tea or coffee
Also, there are 125 students in the hostel.
iii. Number of students who do not drink tea or coffee
= n(U) – n(T ∪ C) = 125 – 120 = 5
∴ 5 students do not drink tea or coffee.
Alternate Method:
Let U be the set of students in the hostel, T be the set of students who drink tea and C be the set of students who drink coffee.
Here drawing will come which I have provided and then write
From Venn diagram, Student who drinks tea or coffee = n(T ∪ C) = 60 + 20 + 40 = 120
∴ The number of students who do not drink tea or coffee = n(U) – n(T ∪ C) = 125 – 120 = 5
∴ 5 students do not drink tea or coffee.
