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

A

$12.8$

B

$13.5$

C

$13.9$

D

$13$

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

$=\,\frac {30}{100}\times 17\,+$ $\frac {40}{100}\times 12\,+$ $\frac {50}{100}\times 8$

$=\,13.9$
