After plotting the 3-circle Venn diagram, we get :

People who read only A: 59
People who read only B: 41
People who read only C: 41

People who read only A&B: 26
People who read only B&C: 14
People who read only A&C: 11

People who read all 3: 9
People who read none of the 3: 27

Hence, number of people who read only one newspaper = 59+41+41 = 141
