Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
Hint: Represent the question in a venn diagram, such that
n(B ∩ M) = x
n(B) only = 125-x
n(M) only = 110-x
=> 125-x + 110-x + x = 220
=> x = 15.
n(B) only = 125 - 15 = 110
n(B ∩ M) = x
n(B) only = 125-x
n(M) only = 110-x
=> 125-x + 110-x + x = 220
=> x = 15.
n(B) only = 125 - 15 = 110
