Solution

The correct option is C

19


Let the sets C and T represent the sets of people who like coffee and tea respectively.
Let x be the number of people who like both coffee and tea.
THen, x=n(CT).
Then, the below given Venn diagram represents the given situation:

As each person in the group likes at least one drink,
n(CT)=n(U)=70.

But, n(CT)=n(C)+n(T)n(CT).

70=37+52x

x=n(CT)=19.
