Let the total number of persons be n(U), number of person who like tea be n(T) and number of person who like coffee be n(C).
Then, the number of person who like both tea and coffee is n(T∩C) and the number of person who like either tea or coffee is n(T∪C).
We know that
n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B) where
A and
B are the respective sets.
Here, it is given that total number of persons are 50 of which 30 like tea, 25 like coffee and 16 like both, that is n(U)=50,n(T)=30,n(C)=25 and n(T∩C)=16 and therefore,
n(T∪C)=n(T)+n(C)−n(T∩C)=30+25−16=55−16=39
Thus, 39 persons like either tea or coffee.
Now, the number of persons who like neither tea nor coffee is n(U)−n(T∪C) that is 50−39=11
Hence, 11 persons like neither tea nor coffee.
