    In a certain town \[25\,%\] families own a phone and \[15\,%\] own a car, \[65\,%\] families own neither a phone nor a car. 2000 families own both a car and a phone. Consider the following statements in this regard:
    1. \[10\,%\] families own both a car and a phone
    2. \[35\,%\] families own either a car or a phone
    3. 40,000 families live in the town
    The correct statements are:

    A) 1 and 2

    B)        1 and 3   

    C) 2 and 3

    D)        1, 2 and 3

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\operatorname{n}(P)=25\,%,\,\,n(C)=15\,%\] \[\operatorname{n}({{P}^{C}}\cap {{C}^{C}})=\,\,65\,%,\,\,n(P\cap C)=2000\] Since, \[n({{P}^{c}}\cap {{C}^{c}})=\,\,65\,%\] \[\therefore \,\,\,n{{\left( P \cup  C \right)}^{c}}= 65\,% \,and n\left( P \cup  C \right) = 35\,%\] Now, \[\operatorname{n}\left( P \cup  C \right) = n(P) + n(C) - n\left( P \cap  C \right)\] \[35=\,\,25+15-n\left( P\cap C \right)\] \[\therefore \,\,n\left( P\cap C \right)=40-35=5.\,\,Thus\,\,\,n\left( P\cap C \right)=\,\,5\,%\] But \[\operatorname{n}\left( P\cap C \right)= 2000\] \[\therefore \,\,Total number of families=\frac{2000\times 100}{5}= 40,000\]Since, \[\operatorname{n}\left( P\cup C \right)= 35%\] and \[\operatorname{total} number of families = 40,000\] and\[n(P\cap C)=5\,%\,\,\therefore \,\,(2)\,\,and\,\,(3)\,\,are\,\,correct\].
