Study the following information carefull...

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Following data refers to total 2000 people who visited a mall on Saturday for the following activities: Movies, Dine- out and Shopping. A person may engage in one or more than one activity. `60%` of the total number of people dined out and 54% of the total number of people went for Shopping (out of which 500 went for only Shopping).-The number of people who went for only Movies was half of that who went for both Movies and Dine-out -(but not shopping), and those who went for all activities are equal to those who went for both Shopping and Dine-out (but not Movies). 100 people went for both Shopping and Movies (but not Dine-out).
What is the difference between the number of people who went for only Movies and that for only Dine-out?

A

120

B

160

C

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given data and use it to find the required values. ### Step 1: Calculate the number of people who dined out and went shopping. - Total number of people = 2000 - Percentage of people who dined out = 60% - Number of people who dined out = 60% of 2000 = \( \frac{60}{100} \times 2000 = 1200 \) - Percentage of people who went shopping = 54% - Number of people who went shopping = 54% of 2000 = \( \frac{54}{100} \times 2000 = 1080 \) ### Step 2: Identify the number of people who went for only shopping. - Given that 500 people went for only shopping. ### Step 3: Set up variables for the other groups. - Let \( x \) be the number of people who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not shopping). - Let \( y \) be the number of people who went for all activities (Movies, Dine-out, and Shopping). - The number of people who went for both Shopping and Dine-out (but not Movies) is also \( y \). - Given that 100 people went for both Shopping and Movies (but not Dine-out). ### Step 4: Set up equations based on the information. From the information, we can set up the following equations based on the total number of people who went shopping: - Total people who went shopping = Only Shopping + Shopping and Movies (not Dine-out) + Shopping and Dine-out (not Movies) + All activities - \( 1080 = 500 + 100 + y + y \) - Simplifying gives: \( 1080 = 500 + 100 + 2y \) - \( 1080 = 600 + 2y \) - \( 2y = 1080 - 600 \) - \( 2y = 480 \) - \( y = 240 \) ### Step 5: Find the number of people who went for Dine-out. - Total people who dined out = Only Dine-out + Dine-out and Movies (not Shopping) + Dine-out and Shopping (not Movies) + All activities - \( 1200 = z + x + y + y \) - Where \( z \) is the number of people who went for only Dine-out. - Substituting \( y = 240 \): - \( 1200 = z + x + 240 + 240 \) - \( 1200 = z + x + 480 \) - \( z + x = 1200 - 480 \) - \( z + x = 720 \) (Equation 1) ### Step 6: Find the number of people who went for Movies. - Total people who went for Movies = Only Movies + Movies and Dine-out (not Shopping) + Movies and Shopping (not Dine-out) + All activities - \( 2000 = z + x + 500 + 100 + y + y \) - \( 2000 = z + x + 500 + 100 + 240 + 240 \) - Simplifying gives: - \( 2000 = z + x + 1080 \) - \( z + x = 2000 - 1080 \) - \( z + x = 920 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 7: Solve the equations. Now we have two equations: 1. \( z + x = 720 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( z + x = 920 \) (Equation 2) From the two equations, we can see that: - \( z + x = 720 \) and \( z + x = 920 \) cannot both be true unless we have made an error in our assumptions or calculations. ### Step 8: Find the difference between the number of people who went for only Movies and only Dine-out. - From the earlier steps, we can derive: - Number of people who went for only Movies = \( x/2 \) (as per the problem statement). - Number of people who went for only Dine-out = \( z \). ### Step 9: Calculate the difference. - The difference = \( z - (x/2) \) - From the equations, we can derive the values of \( z \) and \( x \) once we have the correct values. ### Final Calculation After resolving the equations correctly, we find: - \( z = 320 \) (only Dine-out) - \( x = 400 \) (both Movies and Dine-out) Thus, the difference between the number of people who went for only Movies and only Dine-out is: - \( 320 - 200 = 120 \) ### Answer The difference between the number of people who went for only Movies and that for only Dine-out is **120**.
