The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the number of people who can speak only English and then determine how many people can speak neither English, Hindi, nor Tamil. ### Step 1: Define the Sets Let: - \( E \) = the set of people who can speak English - \( H \) = the set of people who can speak Hindi - \( T \) = the set of people who can speak Tamil From the problem, we have the following information: - Total population, \( n(U) = 450 \) - \( n(E) = 205 \) (people who can speak English) - \( n(H) = 210 \) (people who can speak Hindi) - \( n(T) = 120 \) (people who can speak Tamil) - \( n(H \cap E) = 100 \) (people who can speak both Hindi and English) - \( n(E \cap T) = 80 \) (people who can speak both English and Tamil) - \( n(H \cap T) = 35 \) (people who can speak both Hindi and Tamil) - \( n(E \cap H \cap T) = 20 \) (people who can speak all three languages) ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of People Who Speak Only English To find the number of people who speak only English, we can use the formula: \[ n(E \text{ only}) = n(E) - n(H \cap E) - n(E \cap T) + n(E \cap H \cap T) \] Substituting the values: \[ n(E \text{ only}) = 205 - 100 - 80 + 20 \] \[ n(E \text{ only}) = 205 - 180 \] \[ n(E \text{ only}) = 25 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of People Who Speak Neither Language Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we can find the total number of people who speak at least one language: \[ n(E \cup H \cup T) = n(E) + n(H) + n(T) - n(H \cap E) - n(E \cap T) - n(H \cap T) + n(E \cap H \cap T) \] Substituting the values: \[ n(E \cup H \cup T) = 205 + 210 + 120 - 100 - 80 - 35 + 20 \] \[ n(E \cup H \cup T) = 205 + 210 + 120 - 100 - 80 - 35 + 20 \] \[ n(E \cup H \cup T) = 535 - 215 \] \[ n(E \cup H \cup T) = 320 \] Now, to find the number of people who speak neither language: \[ n(\text{neither}) = n(U) - n(E \cup H \cup T) \] \[ n(\text{neither}) = 450 - 320 \] \[ n(\text{neither}) = 130 \] ### Final Answers 1. The number of people who can speak English but not Hindi or Tamil is **25**. 2. The number of people who can speak neither English, Hindi, nor Tamil is **130**.
