Solution

The correct option is A 34

Given data:

Percentage of workers like oranges = 70%

Percentage of workers like apples = 64%

Let the percentage of workers who like both oranges and apples be x%

Then,

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B)- n(AB)

100 = 70 +64 - n(AB) [ Since the number of wokers is given in percenatge, the total percentage of workers is 100%]

n(AB) = 34%

The minimum percentage of workers who like both the fruits = 34%.
