Number of persons who read Ganashakti in Aghosh Colony and Dighoshpur are 33 and 121 respectively while the persons who read Anand Bazaar Patrika in Aghosh Colony and Dighoshpur are 32 and 117 respectively.
Number of persons in Dighoshpur who read only Ganashakti is:

• A. 121
• B. 83
• C. 79
• D. 127

Answer 1

The correct option is B 83




Let 'x' be the number of people who read both in Dighoshpur.
Then, 121- x + x + 117 - x = 200
x = 38
The number of persons in Dighoshpur who read only Ganashakti = 121 - x = 121 - 38 = 83.
