when i make the double matrix table for this question "not x and not y" does not add up assuming total 100 students.

Brent@GMATPrepNow wrote:Incidentally, if anyone is wondering what the diagrams in mevicks' and theCodeToGMAT's solutions mean, they are using a technique known as the Double Matrix Method. This technique can be used for most questions featuring a population in which each member has two characteristics associated with it.
Here, we have a population of applicants, and the two characteristics are:
- applied to college X or didn't apply to college X
- applied to college Y or didn't apply to college Y

To learn more about this technique, watch our free video: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... ems?id=919

Then try these additional practice questions that can be solved using the Double Matrix Method:

If I understand correctly what you are saying, the flaw in your method is that you can't assume a number of students. Given what is said in the question, the number of students is constrained to a particular value.
