Solution

The correct option is D 35

This question can be repressented as a 3 set venn diagram as shown below

As all supervisors are engineers, we see that R = S = 0

One-third of all engineers are supervisors: y + z = (1/3)(x + y + z + p)

Half of all technicians are engineers: z + p = q. Only one technician is a supervisor: z = 1

Six technicians are engineers: p + z =6 → p = 5, q = 6 Number of engineers is 60: x + y + z + p = 60 → Number of supervisors = 1/3 * 60= 20

5 engineers are technicians but not supervisors

Engineers who are neither Supervisors nor Technicians.

Hence the 3 set venn diagram is:
