A survey shows that 7373 % of the persons working in an office like coffee, whereas 6565 % like tea. If xx denotes the percentage of them, who like both coffee and tea, then xx cannot be:

Options

  1. A6363
  2. B3636
  3. C5454
  4. D3838

Correct answer

B. 3636

Step-by-step solution

n(C)=73,n(T)=65,n(C∩T)=xn\left(C\right) = 73, n\left(T\right) = 65, n\left(C \cap T\right) = x,

Considering that value of n(C∪T)n\left(C \cup T\right) cannot exceed 100100 in terms of percentage, we get

n(C∪T)≤100n\left(C \cup T\right) \le 100

⇒n(C)+n(T)−n(C∩T)≤100⇒ n\left(C\right) + n\left(T\right) - n\left(C \cap T\right) \le 100

⇒x≥38⇒ x \ge 38

Therefore, x≠36x \ne 36.

n(C∩T)≤min(n(C),n(T))⇒x≤65n\left(C \cap T\right) \le min\left(n\left(C\right), n\left(T\right)\right) ⇒ x \le 65

⇒38≤x≤65⇒ 38 \le x \le 65

Hence xx may assume values 63,54,3863, 54, 38.
