1. (c) : Let A denote the set of students who like sports , let B denote who like music and let C denote who like studies.
Let the the total no. of students be 100.
Then n (A) = 90 , n (B) = 80 , n(C) = 70.
n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = n (A) + n (B) + n (C) – n (A ∩ B) – n (C ∩ B) – n (A ∩ C) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)
Now
n (A ∪ B) = n (A) + n (B) – n (A ∩ B)
maximum value of n (A ∪ B) is 100 : total no. of students
n (A ∩ B) = n (A) + n (B) – n (A ∪ B) = 90 + 80 - 100 = 70
n (A ∩ B) >= 70
similarly
n (C ∩ B) >= 50
n(A ∩ C) >= 60
This process was done to minimise the value of AND terms ... to do that we had to maximise the value of OR terms
n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = n (A) + n (B) + n (C) – n (A ∩ B) – n (C ∩ B) – n (A ∩ C) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)
n (A ∪ B ∪ C) max value is 100
100 = 90 + 80 + 70 – 70 – 50 – 60 + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)
n (A ∩ B ∩ C) >= 100 - 60
Then the % of students who have chosen all three is atleast 40
