There are 2 ways you can count the total number of houses in the
community.
(i) 75 = P + S - PS + no-P-no-S.
P = Number of houses with pool, S = num houses with swimming pool
etc. Here, we subtract the number of homes with P&S as we have
already counted them in P and S.
(ii) 75 = Ponly + Sonly + PS + no-P-no-S
Here we add PS because we have not double counted homes.
Now, coming to the question, we know
75 = 48 + S - PS + no-P-no-S
1 - insufficient. Use the second formula. We can only get
75 = 38 + Sonly + PS + no-P-no-S. We have too many unknowns.
2 - sufficient. Use first formula. PS = no-P-no-S.
So, 75 = 48 + S. We can hence solve for S.
Hence B
