A newsagent sells the dailies Hindu, Express and Mail in equal number to 906 persons. 21 persons buy Express and Mail, 36 buy Hindu and Mail, 27 buy Hindu and Express, and buy 9 all the three dailies.

Q. The percentage of people buying Hindu or Express but not Mail is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 2

Since the dailies are sold in equal number, the total sale of each may be taken as x.
Hence, from the diagram, if we add up all the ''only'' regions, we get:
(x - 54) + (x - 48) + (x - 39) + 9 + 27 + 18 + 12 = 906
⇒ x = 327

Percentage of people buying Hindu or Express but not Mail =

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 3

In a group of 45 students, 22 can speak Hindi only and 12 can speak English only. How many students can speak both Hindi and English?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 3


Number of students in the group = 45
Number of students who speak Hindi only = 22
Number of students who speak English only = 12
Let 'x' be the number of students who speak both Hindi and English.
22 + x + 12 = 45
x = 11

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 4

In a group of 26 persons, 8 take tea but not coffee and 8 take tea and coffee both. How many take coffee but not tea?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 4


T = Tea
C = Coffee
Let the number of people who like coffee but not tea be x.
Number of people in the group = 26
From the Venn diagram:
8 + 8 + x = 26
x = 10

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 5

At a meeting of 100 people, there were 23 Indian men and 29 Indian women. Of these Indians, 4 were dentists and 24 were either men or dentists. Assume that there were no foreign dentists. How many foreigners attended the meeting?

Out of 100, 23 are Indian men and 29 are Indian women.
So, the remaining 48 are foreigners.

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 6

Let Na = {an : n ∈ N}. Then, N6 ∩ N8 is equal to  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 6

N6 contains all multipliers of 6 and N8, those of 8. So, N6 ∩ N8 contains all those numbers which are common multiples of 6 and 8 both, i.e. multiples of 24 (LCM of 6 and 8 = 24).
So, N6 ∩ N8 = N24

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 7

Let A and B have 3 and 6 elements, respectively. What can be the minimum number of elements in A ∪ B?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 7

A ∪ B will contain minimum number of elements if A ⊂ B; and in that case, n(A ∪ B) = n(B) = 6.

In a group of 65 people, 40 like cricket, 10 like both cricket and tennis. Each one likes at least one sport out of cricket and tennis.

How many people like only tennis and not cricket?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 8


Total number of people = 65
Number of people who like cricket = 40
Number of people both cricket and tennis = 10
From the Venn diagram,
40 - 10 + 10 + x = 65
x = 25
Thus, number of people who like only tennis and not cricket = 25

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 9

In a committee, 50 people speak French, 20 speak Spanish and 10 speak both Spanish and French. How many speak at least one of the two languages?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 9


Number of people who speak French = 50
Number of people who speak Spanish = 20
Number of people who speak both Spanish and French = 10
Number of people who speak at least one of the two languages = Number of people speaking only French + Number of people speaking only Spanish +
Number of people speaking both French and Spanish = (50 - 10) + 10 + (20 - 10) = 60

CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 10

In a community, 56% of the total families use mixers and 66% of the total use air conditioners.

If the total number of families is 300, what is the number of families using air conditioners only?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 20 - Question 10



n(M) + n(A) - n(M ∩ A) = n(M ∪ A)
n(M ∩ A) = 168 + 198 - 300 = 366 - 300 = 66
Number of families using air conditioners only = 198 - 66 = 132
