The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principle of set theory and Venn diagrams. ### Step 1: Define the Sets Let: - \( T \) = the set of members who like tea - \( C \) = the set of members who like coffee From the problem, we know: - Total members in the family, \( |U| = 20 \) - Members who like tea, \( |T| = 11 \) - Members who like coffee, \( |C| = 14 \) ### Step 2: Use the Union Formula Since every member likes at least one of the two drinks, we can use the formula for the union of two sets: \[ |T \cup C| = |T| + |C| - |T \cap C| \] Where: - \( |T \cup C| \) is the number of members who like either tea or coffee (or both). - \( |T \cap C| \) is the number of members who like both tea and coffee. ### Step 3: Substitute Known Values We know that \( |T \cup C| = 20 \) (since all members like at least one drink). Substituting the known values into the formula gives: \[ 20 = 11 + 14 - |T \cap C| \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( |T \cap C| \) Now, we can solve for \( |T \cap C| \): \[ 20 = 25 - |T \cap C| \] \[ |T \cap C| = 25 - 20 = 5 \] So, \( |T \cap C| = 5 \). This means 5 members like both tea and coffee. ### Step 5: Find Members Who Like Only Tea To find the number of members who like only tea (not coffee), we subtract those who like both from those who like tea: \[ |T \text{ only}| = |T| - |T \cap C| = 11 - 5 = 6 \] ### Step 6: Find Members Who Like Only Coffee Similarly, to find the number of members who like only coffee (not tea), we subtract those who like both from those who like coffee: \[ |C \text{ only}| = |C| - |T \cap C| = 14 - 5 = 9 \] ### Final Answers Now we can summarize the results: 1. Number of members who like both tea and coffee: \( |T \cap C| = 5 \) 2. Number of members who like only tea and not coffee: \( |T \text{ only}| = 6 \) 3. Number of members who like only coffee and not tea: \( |C \text{ only}| = 9 \)
