A city library conducted a reading preferences survey among of its registered members. The survey focused on three genres: Mystery (), Sci-Fi (), and Biography (). The results showed that members do not read any of these three genres.
Furthermore, the survey revealed the following:
- members read Mystery.
- members read Sci-Fi.
- members read Biography.
- members read both Mystery and Biography.
- members read both Sci-Fi and Biography.
- members read all three genres.
Based on the survey results, how many members read both Mystery and Sci-Fi, but NOT Biography?
- A70
- B110
- 30Cevap
- D150
Cevap
The correct answer is 30, which is the number of members who read both Mystery and Sci-Fi, but not Biography.
By applying the inclusion-exclusion principle, we find that the total number of readers for both Mystery and Sci-Fi is 70. However, this 70 includes the 40 readers who also read Biography. Since the question specifies readers who do NOT read Biography, we must subtract the 40 who read all three, leaving 30 readers who read exactly Mystery and Sci-Fi.
