Answer 1

Answer: (i) 10% (ii) 60% (iii) 40%

Explanation:

(i) Newar language = 65%

Gurung language = 45%

Total covers = 110 but to sum it up to base that is 100% then 110-100 is 10.

so, 10% of people speak both the language.

(ii) people who speak only Newari only would be 60% as 5% among them speak Gurung language.

(iii) people who speak only Gurung only would be 40% as 5% among them speak Newari language.
