Solution

The correct option is B 3300
n(A)=40% of 10,000=4,000
n(B)=20% of 10,000=2,000
n(C)=10% of 10,000=1,000
n(AB)=5% of 10,000=500
n(BC)=3% of 10,000=300
n(CA)=4% of 10,000=400
n(ABC)=2% of 10,000=200
We want to find n(ABcCc)
n(ABcCc)=n[A(BC)c].
=n(A)n[A(BC)]=n(A)n[(AB)(AC)]
=n(A)[n(AB)+n(AC)n(ABC)]
=4000[500+400200]=4000700=3300.
