Number of such people = Green shaded region in the Venn diagram = Total - Other regions = 90 - (29 + 17 + 14 + 4 + 9 + 2) = 90 - 75 = 15

Required percentage = (15/90)*100 = 16.677 ≈ 17

The correct answer is B.

The answer should be 17%. Rahul's formula to calculate the green area is correct, but the calculation is wrong.

Thanks Rahul for your help. I thought I'd have to adjust for the intersection between them, but apparently they're already subtracted :)
