There is no where in the options it talks about

1) Number students who are employed
2) Number of Non students who are employed
3) Number of students who are not employed.
4) Number of Non students who are not employed

I mean, how do you define a relationship. Can you explain how do you come to conclusion as 11.

Draw a matrix like below

Employed Non Employed
Student ? 24

Non-Student 18
29 13 42

If you look at the above matrix, There is no value defined in the both options about

1) Number students who are employed
2) Number of Non students who are employed
3) Number of students who are not employed.
4) Number of Non students who are not employed


we can only interpret

Total students employed and Non employed are 24
Total non students employed and Non employed are 18
Total employed including student and non student are 29
Total Non Employed including student and non student are 13

I should point out that this question (and other questions involving overlapping sets) can be solved using a technique called the Double Matrix (or Double Set Matrix). For more information about this technique and some additional practice questions, check out these 3 BTG articles:
