Question

In a group of 500 people, 350 are engineers and 250 are MBAs.
How many are both Engineers and MBAs?

• A. 100
• B. 75
• C. 50
• D. 150
• E. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is A 100

As, we know {A $\cup$ B} = A + B - (A $\cap$ B)

A $\cup$ B = 500 , A = 250 and B = 350

500 = 250 + 350 - (A $\cap$ B)

(A $\cap$ B) = 100

100 are both Engineers and MBAs.

Hence option (a)
