Answer : The correct option is, (B) 17

Step-by-step explanation :

From the Venn diagram we Conclude that:

Number of employees speak Spanish = 8

Number of employees speak Chinese = 6

Number of employees speak Spanish and Chinese (both) = 3

As per question, now we have to determine the number employees who speak either Spanish or Chinese (or both).

Number of employees speak either Spanish or Chinese (or both) = Number of employees speak Spanish + Number of employees speak Chinese + Number of employees speak Spanish and Chinese (both)

Number of employees speak either Spanish or Chinese (or both) = 8 + 6 + 3

Number of employees speak either Spanish or Chinese (or both) = 17

Thus, the number of employees speak either Spanish or Chinese (or both) are, 17
