Solution
Let ’T’ be the set of people like Tea
Let ‘C’ be the set of people like Coffee
n(T ∩ C) = 45, n(T) = 35 and n(C) = 20
Let X be the number of people like both Tea and Coffee.
By using the Venn-diagram

From the Venn-diagram we get.
35 – x + x + 20 – x = 45
55 – x = 45
55 – 45 = x
10 = x
People like both tea and coffee = 10
