Good going Neha and Mahesh.

Ques: A survey was conducted of 100 people to find out whether they had read recent issues of Golmal, a monthly magazine. The summarized information regarding readership in 3 months is given below:

Only September: 18; September but not August: 23; September and July: 28;September: 28; July: 48; July and August: 10;
None of the three months: 24.

What is the number of surveyed people who have read exactly two consecutive issues (out of the three)?
(1) 7
(2) 9
(3) 12
(4) 14
(5) 17

All the best!

Do you know the solution to this? I'm stuck...

This problem can be solved using the venn diagram approach. Draw three intersecting circle with one representing each month. Then add the values. You can easily eliminate options 1 and 2 since july and august is already given as 10. So you now just need to find out how many people read august and sept but not july. This can be found out by substracting from 100 Only July readers, then readers of all the three issues, then only august readers, only september readers and july and sept readers. You may try it now. Do post if you have some more difficulties.
