Solution

Let T, E and H represent families buying Tamil newspaper, English newspaper and Hindi newspaper respectively.

n(T) = 275, n(E) = 150, n(H) = 45

n(T ∩ E) = 125, n(E ∩ H) = 17, n(T ∩ H) = 5

n(T ∩ E ∩ H) = 3

Let us represent the given data in Venn diagrams.

Number of families buy atleast two newspaper

= 122 + 2 + 14 + 3

= 141
