At a certain conference of 100 people there are 29 Indian women and 23...
Let us define the following events as:
M: Indian men
W: Indian women
D: Doctors who are Indian
So, now we have
n(M ∪ D) = 24
n(W) = 29
n(M) = 23
n(D) = 4
Total persons = 100
Consider, n(M ∪ D) = n(M) + n(D) – n(M ∩ D)
⇒ 24 = 23 + 4 – n(M ∩ D)
⇒ n(M ∩ D) = 3
⇒ Number of Indian men who are doctors = 3
But only 4 Indian people are doctors.
∴ Number of Indian women who are doctors = 4 – 3 = 1

At a certain conference of 100 people there are 29 Indian women and 23...
Given information:
- Total number of people at the conference = 100
- Number of Indian women = 29
- Number of Indian men = 23
- Number of Indian doctors = 4
- Number of Indian men or doctors = 24
To find: Number of Indian women doctors at the conference
Solution:
Let's start by creating a Venn diagram to represent the given information:
Indian
/ \
Women Men
/ \ / \
Doctors ND Doctors ND
ND = Not Doctors
We know that there are a total of 4 Indian doctors. Let's add that information to the Venn diagram:
Indian
/ \
Women Men
/ \ / \
2 ND 2 22
We can see that out of the 4 Indian doctors, 2 are women. Therefore, the answer is 2.
Answer: Option (C) 1.
At a certain conference of 100 people there are 29 Indian women and 23...
Solution
Step -1: Find the total number of Indians at the conference.
Total Indians=Indian women+Indian men.
=29+23
=52
Step -2: Find the number of foreigners at the conference.
As, total number of people at the conference=100.
∴Number of foreigners=Total people−Number of total Indians.
=100−52
=48
Step -3: Find the number of women doctors at the conference.
Number of doctors=4
Given, either Indian men or doctor, i.e. (Indian men∪ Doctor)=24
∵n(A∪B)=n(A)+nB−n(A∩B)
∴n(Indian men∪Doctor)=n(Indian men)+n(Doctor)−n(Indian men∩Doctor)
⇒24=23+4−n(Indian men∩Doctor)
⇒n(Indian men∩Doctor)=3
As, there are no foreign doctors so, all doctors are Indian.
⇒Men doctors=3
Women doctors=Total doctors−Men doctors
=4−3
=1
