The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information given and set up equations based on the relationships described. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( F \) = Number of people who like all three sweets (Barfi, Jalebi, Rasgulla) - \( D \) = Number of people who like exactly Barfi and Jalebi - \( E \) = Number of people who like exactly Barfi and Rasgulla - \( G \) = Number of people who like exactly Jalebi and Rasgulla ### Step 2: Set Up Equations From the problem, we know: 1. The number of people who like all three sweets is half the number of people who like exactly two sweets: \[ F = \frac{1}{2}(D + E + G) \] 2. The number of people who like exactly any two out of the three sweets is the same: \[ D = E = G \] Let \( D = E = G = d \). Thus, we can rewrite the first equation: \[ F = \frac{1}{2}(d + d + d) = \frac{3d}{2} \] ### Step 3: Total People Who Like Each Sweet We are given: - People who like Barfi = 50 - People who like Jalebi = 60 - People who like Rasgulla = 70 Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we can express the total number of people who like each sweet: 1. For Barfi: \[ 50 = B + D + E + F \] Substituting \( E \) and \( D \) with \( d \): \[ 50 = B + d + d + F \implies 50 = B + 2d + F \] 2. For Jalebi: \[ 60 = J + D + G + F \implies 60 = J + d + d + F \implies 60 = J + 2d + F \] 3. For Rasgulla: \[ 70 = R + E + G + F \implies 70 = R + d + d + F \implies 70 = R + 2d + F \] ### Step 4: Summing the Equations Now, we can add the three equations: \[ (50 + 60 + 70) = (B + J + R) + 3d + 3F \] This simplifies to: \[ 180 = (B + J + R) + 3d + 3F \] ### Step 5: Total Number of People We also know the total number of people is 132: \[ 132 = B + J + R + D + E + F + G = B + J + R + 3d + F \] ### Step 6: Solve the Equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( 180 = (B + J + R) + 3d + 3F \) 2. \( 132 = (B + J + R) + 3d + F \) Subtract the second equation from the first: \[ 180 - 132 = 3F - F \implies 48 = 2F \implies F = 24 \] ### Step 7: Find \( d \) Now substitute \( F \) back into the equation for \( F \): \[ F = \frac{3d}{2} \implies 24 = \frac{3d}{2} \implies 3d = 48 \implies d = 16 \] ### Conclusion The number of people who like all three sweets (Barfi, Jalebi, Rasgulla) is: \[ \boxed{24} \]
