Solution

The correct option is C

30


Let the no. of people who have listened to Pink Floyd be n(P) = 40
Similarly, the no. of people who have listened to Metallica be n(M) = 30
and the no. of people who have listened to John Denver be = n(J) = 20
Also given that the no. of people who listen to all three i.e. n(PMJ)=10
We have to find the no. of people who have listened to only Pink floyd.
Let that no. be x.
Now, from Demorgan's second law, we know that
P(MJ)=(PM)(PJ)
n(P(MJ))=n(PM)+n(PJ)n((PM)(PJ))
n(P(MJ))=30+3030
n(P(MJ))=30

Thus, 30 people listen to only Pink Floyd.
