A survey is done among a population of 200 people who like either tea or coffee. It is found that 60% of the pop lation like tea and 72% of the population like coffee. Let $x$ be the number of people who like both tea & coffee. Let $m{\leq x\leq n}$, then choose the correct option.

Solution

Total people = 200
People who like tea = \(60\% \times 200 = 120\)
People who like coffee = \(72\% \times 200 = 144\)

Using the set formula: \[ |T \cup C| = |T| + |C| - |T \cap C| \] \[ 200 = 120 + 144 - x \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 64 \]

Minimum possible intersection: \[ x \geq |T| + |C| - 200 = 64 \] Maximum possible intersection: \[ x \leq \min(120,144) = 120 \]

✅ Final Answer

The range of \(x\) is: 64 ≤ x ≤ 120 Hence, \(m = 64, \; n = 120\).
