Let M = set of individuals who read Marathi newspapers

E = set of individuals who read English newspapers

X = set of all literate individuals

∴ n(X) = 2000,

(i) n(M ∪ E) = n(M) + n(E) – n(M ∩ E)

= 1400 + 1000 – 650

= 1750

(ii) No. of individuals who read neither Marathi nor English newspaper = n(M’ ∩ E’)

= n(M ∪ E)’ = n(X) – n(M ∪ E)

= 2000 – 1750

= 250

(iii) No. of individuals who read only one of the newspapers = n(M ∩ E’) + n(M’ ∩ E)

= n(M ∪ E) – n(M ∩ E)

= 1750 – 650

= 1100
