Favorite Answer
A + AB + AC + ABC = 21 (A = only like A, AB = only like A and B but not C, etc.)
You can express all the other given values in the same way, so you can get the following information
A + AB + AC + ABC = 21
B + AB + BC + ABC = 26
C + AC + BC + ABC = 29
AB + ABC = 14
AC + ABC = 12
BC + ABC = 14
ABC = 8
You need to know C.
C + AC + BC + ABC = 29
This is the only expression with C in, so you’ll obviously need to use this equation. You will also need some way to work out the values of AC, BC and ABC
AC + ABC = 12
BC + ABC = 14
ABC = 8
ABC = 8, so this can be substituted in whenever you see ABC
C + AC + BC + 8 = 29 // C + AC + BC = 21
AC + 8 = 12 // AC = 4
BC + 8 = 14 // BC = 6
You can now substitute in the values of AC and BC
C + 4 + 6 = 21
C = 11
11 people like only C
12 + 14 + 8 is 34 which is more than 29 meaning that there is some overlap making this question tricky. I arrived at 3 by including the 8 that liked all 3 in the earlier groups (this could be a flaw in my logic). Now for sure 12 + 14 = 26 and 29-26=3
Total 29 liked Product C.
12 people liked C & A
14 liked B & C
8 liked A, B and C
So the total people who like C along with other products is 34?? Doesnt make any sense bro!
