In a group of 15 women, 7 have nose studs, 8 have ear rings and 3 have neither. How many of these have both nose studs and ear rings?
Let number of women that have both be $$b$$
Then, according to ques, $$a+b=7$$ and $$b+c=8$$ and $$d=3$$
Also, $$a+b+c+d=15$$
=> $$a+b+c=12$$ -----------------(2)
Substituting value of $$(a+b)$$ in equation 2, => $$c=12-7=5$$
and thus $$b=3$$
$$\therefore$$ Number of women having both nose studs and ear rings = 3
=> Ans - (C)
