The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the principle of inclusion-exclusion and a Venn diagram to find the number of people who read only one type of newspaper. ### Step 1: Define the sets Let: - \( E \) = number of people who read the English newspaper = 85 - \( H \) = number of people who read the Hindi newspaper = 53 - \( T \) = number of people who read the Telugu newspaper = 120 - \( E \cap H \cap T \) = number of people who read all three newspapers = 12 - \( E \cap H \) = number of people who read both English and Hindi = 21 - \( H \cap T \) = number of people who read both Hindi and Telugu = 17 - \( T \cap E \) = number of people who read both Telugu and English = 52 ### Step 2: Set up the Venn Diagram We will denote: - \( x \) = number of people who read only English - \( y \) = number of people who read only Hindi - \( z \) = number of people who read only Telugu - \( a \) = number of people who read English and Hindi but not Telugu - \( b \) = number of people who read Hindi and Telugu but not English - \( c \) = number of people who read Telugu and English but not Hindi - \( g \) = number of people who read all three newspapers = 12 ### Step 3: Write equations based on the information given From the information provided, we can write the following equations: 1. \( a + g = E \cap H \) → \( a + 12 = 21 \) → \( a = 9 \) 2. \( b + g = H \cap T \) → \( b + 12 = 17 \) → \( b = 5 \) 3. \( c + g = T \cap E \) → \( c + 12 = 52 \) → \( c = 40 \) ### Step 4: Calculate the number of people who read only one newspaper Using the total counts: - For English: \[ x + a + c + g = E \implies x + 9 + 40 + 12 = 85 \implies x + 61 = 85 \implies x = 24 \] - For Hindi: \[ y + a + b + g = H \implies y + 9 + 5 + 12 = 53 \implies y + 26 = 53 \implies y = 27 \] - For Telugu: \[ z + b + c + g = T \implies z + 5 + 40 + 12 = 120 \implies z + 57 = 120 \implies z = 63 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total number of people who read only one newspaper Now, we can find the total number of people who read only one type of newspaper: \[ \text{Total} = x + y + z = 24 + 27 + 63 = 114 \] ### Final Answer The number of people who read only one type of newspaper is **114**. ---
