The set formula is

Total = A+B+C+2(ABC)-(AB+BC+CA)

Inputting your values you get

6 = 4+3+2-3+2ABC

2ABC = Total - A - B - C + (AB+BC+CA) = 6 - 4 - 3 - 2 + 3 = 0

2ABC = 0
ABC = 0

Answer is A

confused

by ritula » Sun Sep 21, 2008 4:04 am
I am very confused. In an earlier set problem (https://www.beatthegmat.com/percentage-t ... 4b4836ea0b),

I was told that for a set of overlapping problem, the formula is as below:
Total =Group 1+Group 2 +Group 3 -(Any 2) -2 *All +Neither
Please help where to use which formula.
