Question

: In certain town, 25% of the families own a phone and 15% own a car, 65% families own neither a phone nor a car and 2000 families own both a car and a phone. Consider the following statement Statement 1-35% families own either a car and a phone. Statement 2- 40,000 families live in the town.​

Answer 1

Answer: both statement are true

Step-by-step explanation:Suppose N% familes own both a car and a phone, then

percentage of the families owing only a phone = 25 - N

Percentage of the families owing only a car = 15 - N

∴ (25 - N) +(15 - N) + N + 65 = 100

⇒ N = 5

Percentage of families who have either a car or a phone = (25 - 5) + (15 - 5) + 5 = 35

So, Statement ll is correct.
