The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems step by step, let's break it down. ### Part (i) 1. **Identify the given information:** - Total number of people (n) = 50 - Number of people who speak Hindi (n(H)) = 35 - Number of people who speak both English and Hindi (n(E ∩ H)) = 25 - All people speak at least one of the two languages. 2. **Use the formula for the union of two sets:** \[ n(E \cup H) = n(E) + n(H) - n(E \cap H) \] Since all people speak at least one language: \[ n(E \cup H) = 50 \] Plugging in the values: \[ 50 = n(E) + 35 - 25 \] Simplifying: \[ 50 = n(E) + 10 \] \[ n(E) = 50 - 10 = 40 \] So, the number of people who speak English (n(E)) = 40. 3. **Find the number of people who speak only English:** - To find the number of people who speak only English (n(E) - n(E ∩ H)): \[ n(\text{Only English}) = n(E) - n(E \cap H) \] Plugging in the values: \[ n(\text{Only English}) = 40 - 25 = 15 \] So, the number of people who speak only English and not Hindi = 15. ### Part (ii) 1. **Identify the given information:** - Number of people who speak both English and Hindi (n(E ∩ H)) = 50 - Number of people who speak English but not Hindi (n(E) - n(E ∩ H)) = 30 - All people speak at least one of the two languages. 2. **Use the information to find the total number of people who speak English:** - Let n(E) be the total number of people who speak English. - The total number of people who speak English can be calculated as: \[ n(E) = n(E \cap H) + n(\text{Only English}) \] Plugging in the values: \[ n(E) = 50 + 30 = 80 \] So, the total number of people who speak English = 80. ### Summary of Answers - (i) Number of people who speak only English and not Hindi = 15; Total number of people who speak English = 40. - (ii) Total number of people who speak English = 80.
