Answer:
Hey !!
Let U be the set of car owners investigated. M be the set of persons who owned car A and S be the set of persons who owned car B.
Given that,
n (U) = 500 , n (M) = 400 , n (S) = 200 and n ( S ∩ M ) = 50
Then,
n ( S ∪ M ) = n (S) + n (M) - n (S ∩ M) = 200 + 400 - 50 = 550
But S ∪ M ⊂ U implies n (S ∪ M) ≤ n (U).
This is a contradiction. So, the given data is incorrect.
GOOD LUCK !
