Given:
N(Pc & Ac ) 50%
Asked:
NPc & ~Ac = ?
1. NPc = 60%
N (Pc & ~Ac) = Npc - N(Pc & Ac)
=60% - 50%
=10%
Ans:A or D
2. NAc = 70%
Here we dont know,N(Pc U Ac ) = 100% , i.e is not mentioned.
Hence we can't assume ( There could be possible this survery has TV also then Ac +Pc+Tv = 100%, even then with condition-1, we can identiy N (Pc & ~Ac)% )
N(Pc U Ac) = 100%, it could be 80% or 90%,Hence we can't apply:
N(Pc U Ac) = N(Pc) + N (Ac) - N (Pc & Ac).
Hence. Ans : A
N(Pc & Ac ) 50%
