Hi All,

I am facing difficulty solving a Venn diagram problem. I'm posting it here for some help!!

Among 300 people, each one likes atleast one fruit among apple, orange and pineapple. 150 like pineapple and 180 like apple. If the number of people who like exactly one fruit it 160, what is the maximum possible number of people who like orange??

Hi Prabhu,

the Following explanation would suffice

For the Third set to be maximum it is better to be disjoint or have a least possible intersection with the others.
because the set for only one is defined.

I think the answer is 110.
