Let $C$ denote the set of people who like coffee, and $T$ denote the set of people who like tea

$n(C \cup T)=70, n(C)=37, n(T)=52$

We know that:

$n(C \cup T)=n(C)+n(T)-n(C \cap T)$

$\therefore 70=37+52-n(C \cap T)$

$\Rightarrow 70=89-n(C \cap T)$

$\Rightarrow(C \cap T)=89-70=19$

Thus, $19$ people like both coffee and tea.
