    B)  50           

    C)  60                               

    D)  80

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\because \]Let A = set of Hindi speaking people B = Set of English speaking people Given, \[n\left( A \right)=50,n\left( B \right)=20\] \[n\left( A\cap B \right)=10\] \[\therefore n\left( A\cup B \right)\] \[=n\left( A \right)+n\left( B \right)-n\left( A\cap B \right)=50+20-10=60\]Hence, option [c] is correct
