Two newspaper $A$ and $B$ are published in a city. It is known that $25\%$ of the city populations reads $A$ and $20\%$ reads $B$ while $8\%$ reads both $A$ and $B$. Further, $30\%$ of those who read $A$ but not $B$ look into advertisements and $40\%$ of those who read $B$ but not $A$ also look into advertisements, while $50\%$ of those who read both $A$and $B$ look into advertisements. Then the percentage of the population who look into advertisement is
$12.8$
$13.5$
$13.9$
$13$
Solution

Let population $=\,100$
$n(A)\, = \,25$
$n(B)\, = \,20$
$n(A \cap B)\, = \,8$
$n(A \cap \bar B)\, = \,17$
$n(\bar A \cap B)\, = \,12$
Now $\%$ of th population who look advertisement
$=\,\frac {30}{100}\times 17\,+$ $\frac {40}{100}\times 12\,+$ $\frac {50}{100}\times 8$
$=\,13.9$
