The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of persons who read either novels or poems in a group of 85 persons. We know the following: - Total persons = 85 - Persons who read novels = 45 - Persons who read poems = 37 - Persons who do not read either novels or poems = 8 Let's break this down step by step: ### Step 1: Determine the number of persons who read either novels or poems. To find the number of persons who read either novels or poems, we first need to subtract the number of persons who do not read anything from the total number of persons. **Calculation:** Total persons who read either novels or poems = Total persons - Persons who do not read either = 85 - 8 = 77 ### Step 2: Conclusion Therefore, the number of persons who read either novels or poems is **77**.
