Problem Solving

Yup, glad to hear that you also think the OA to the first one should be '10%' Stuart.

Mutual_help,

the formula you used is wrong,

when you say,

n(A int B) + n(A int C) + n(B int C), elements of (A int B int C) are included 3 times in this....

hence, you have to subtract - 2 X n(A int B int C) from the answer you are getting to get the right answer.

hence, it will be, 20 - 2(5) = 10%.

However, like most questions on the GMAT, you can often reason your way to the correct answer even if you don't know the right formula.

Stuart can you please explain the two problems with help of the equation mentioned by Ronnie. I mean this equation
Total = Group1 + Group2 + Group3 - (sum of 2-group overlaps) - 2*(all three) + Neither
