  • Options
  • A. 123
  • B. 231
  • C. 312
  • D. 321

  • Correct Answer
  • 321 

    Explanation

    No. of people who read Hindu = 285
    No. of people who read TOI = 127
    No. of people who read IE = 212
    Now,
    No. of people who read Hindu and TOI both is = 20
    No. of people who read TOI and IE both is = 35
    No. of people who read Hindu and IE both is = 29
    Let No. of people who read Hindu , TOI and IE all is = x ;
    So, only Hindu is = 285-20-29-x = 236-x ;
    Only TOI is = 127-20-35-x = 72-x ;
    Only IE is = 212-35-29-x = 148-x ;
    Now, 236-x + 72-x + 148-x + 20 + 29 + 35 + x + 50 = 500 590 -2x = 500
    So, x = 45 this is the value who read all the 3 dailies.
    So, No. of people who read only one paper is = 236-45 + 72-45 + 148-45 = 191 + 27 + 103 = 321.
