In a survey of 1,000 consumers it is found that 720 consumers liked product A and 450 liked product B. What is the least number that must have liked both the products? Correct Answer 170
Given:
Total consumers = 1000
Consumers who like product A = 720
Consumers who like product B = 450
Formula Used:
n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
Calculation:
Least number that like both the products are n(AꓵB)
⇒ 1000 = 720 + 450 - n(A ∩ B)
⇒ 1000 = 1170 - n(A ∩ B)
⇒ n(A ∩ B) = 170
∴ 170 consumers like both the products A and B
