14 have > = 4 yrs experience
so 16 have < 4 yrs experience
3 of them have no degree
so 13 of them have degree and < 4 yrs exp.
Total no of degree holders = 18
5 = 18-13 have degree and > 4yrs exp.

Pradeep, in those types of problems, always draw a table, makes things much clearer!

>=4 <4 Total
Degree 5 13 18
No Degree 9 3 12
Total 14 16 30

Put what's given, and start filling in the squares, hope this helps!:)
