Answers and Solutions for Venn Diagram Problems and Solutions for CAT PDF:
1) Answer (C)
Let the number of days in the vacation be x
They played tennis for x-14 days
They did yoga for x-24 days
So, they did yoga or played tennis for x-14+x-24 = 2x-38 days
2x – 38 = 22
=> x = 30
2) Answer (C)
Number of people owning exactly 2 articles = 9
Number of people owning exactly 3 articles = 1
Applying AUBUC formula, we get
AUBUC = 22+15+14 – 9 -2*(1)=40
Number of people who do not own any article = 50-40 = 10
3) Answer (B)
Let a be the number who watch only one channel, b be the number who watch only 2 channels and c be the number who watch all channels.
a+b+c = 100
a+2b+3c = 80+22+15 =117
Subtracting both equations,
b+2c = 117-100 = 17
Maximum c occurs when b = 0
2c = 17
c = 8.5
4) Answer (A)
Applying AUBUC formula
Let x be the number who watch BBC and CNN and y be the number who watch all three channels.
100 = 80+22+15-(10+5+x)+y
x-y = 2
Hence only 2% people watch BBC and CNN only.
5) Answer (D)
Applying AUBUC formula
Let x be the number who watch BBC and CNN and y be the number who watch all three channels.
100 = 80+22+15-(10+5+x)+y
x-y = 2
We cannot find the exact value of y.
Hence, the answer is “cannot be determined”.
