The formula is p(a union b)=p(a)+p(b)-p(a intersect b)
so, according to our problem p(a union b )=40  p(a)=30;  p(b)=20;
so, we have to find p(a intersect b), so=30+20-40 =10

Here n(AUB)=40
n(A)=30
n(B)=20


we know
n(AUB)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A INTERSECTION B)
=>40=30+20-n(A INTERSECTION B)
=>n(A INTERSECTION B)=10
so 10 speak both the language

Ans of Q No.-6
Given Ci/Di=3/4 Ce/De=4/5
Let income of C & D be 3x & 4x
respectively
and expenditure 4t & 5t respectively
Now the given that 4t-3x=3x/4 =>t=15x/16
Now we have to calculate (4t-3x)/(5t-4x){the savings ratio}
Now putting the value of t we will get 12:11.

Formula is p(a n b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a u b)
where,
p(a) = 30, who speaks hindi
p(b) = 20, who speaks english
p(a u b) = 40, total students
p(a n b) = ?
=> 30 + 20 - 40
=> 10
Solution is 10.
