149) Of 75 houses, 48 have a patio. How many houses have a swimming pool?
a. 38 houses have a patio but no swimming pool
b. Number of houses that have a swimming patio and a swimming pool is equal to the number of houses that have neither pool nor patio
Doesnt the 1st statement contradict the information given in the main question?
I mean when its given 48 houses have a patio then how can, as per statement 1, 38 houses have a patio but no swimming pool.
Will appreciate if someone can please clarify the above.
Thanks.
