A survey shows that $63$% of the people in a city read newspaper A whereas $76$% read newspaper B. If $x$% of the people read both the newspapers, then a possible value of x can be:
(A) $37$
(B) $65$
(C) $29$
(D) $55$
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Let $A$ be the set of people who read newspaper A and $B$ be the set of people who read newspaper B. According to the problem, we have:
$|A| = 63$
$|B| = 76$
$|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|$
Also, $|A \cup B|$ represents the percentage of people who read at least one of the newspapers, and it cannot exceed $100$. We are given that $x$% of the people read both newspapers, so $|A \cap B| = x$.
Therefore, $|A \cup B| = 63 + 76 - x = 139 - x$.
Since $|A \cup B| \le 100$, we have $139 - x \le 100$, which implies $x \ge 39$.
From the Venn diagram, $x$ must be less than or equal to both $63$ and $76$. So, $x \le 63$.
Thus, $39 \le x \le 63$.
From the given options, the only value that satisfies this inequality is $55$.
Therefore, the possible value of $x$ is $55$.

Two newspapers 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 :-
