Answer 1

The correct option is B 1650

We can get the following venn diagram from the given information

According to the question,
a = 650; f = 550;
g = 450; c = 100;
b + c = 200; c + e = 400
c + d = 300
$\therefore$ b = 100; e = 300 and d = 200

Number of members reading only one newspaper = a + f + g
= 650 + 550 + 450
= 1650
