Solution

In a town of 840 persons, 450 persons read Hindi, 300 read English and 200 read both. Then the number of persons who read neither is 290.

Explanation:

Total number of persons in a town = 840

⇒ n(U) = 840

Number of persons who read Hindi = 450

⇒ n(H) = 450

Number of persons who read English = 300

⇒ n(E) = 300

Number of persons who read both = 200

⇒ n(H ∩ E) = 200

∴ n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)

= 450 + 300 – 200

= 550

n(H' ∩ E') = n(U) – n(H ∪ E)

= 840 – 550

= 290
