In 1920, the "Sahitya Shakti" society was established by 500 members who read Premchand. In 1921, due to internal conflict, it removed all 200 members who also read Shakespeare. In 1922, further the member who also read Tolstoy numbering 100 left the society. In 1923, the society added only those ex-member who read both Shakespeare and Premchand but not Tolstoy after which the Sahitya Shakti society consisted of 350 members. Which of the following is true?
The total number of members of Sahitya Shakti is 500.
Total members after removing people who read Shakespeare = 500-200=300
Total members after removing people who read Tolstoy = 300-100=200
Society added back people who read Shakespeare but not Tolstoy, and the number increased to 350.
Hence society added back 150 people. But initially, society removed 200 members.
Therefore, the other 50 members who were not added back also read Tolstoy. Those 50 members read all three books.
Option (A) False. Only 150 original members read both Premchand and Tolstoy.
Option(B) True. 50 original members read together Premchand and Shakespeare and Tolstoy
Option(C) False. 350 original members read both Premchand and Shakespeare but not Tolstoy
Option (D) False. 50 original members read both Shakespeare and Tolstoy
