Question

10. In a group of 50 people, there are two types of professionals, engineers and managers. If 36 of them are engineers and 24 of them are managers, how many persons are both managers and engineers?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The photo above is the Venn diagram

Now, the number of persons that are both managers and engineers= n

Since, Total number of persons is 50

Therefore, 50= M+n+E

M only = 36-n

E only = 24-n

Therefore, 50= 36 - n + n + 24 - n

50 = 36+24-n

50 = 60 - n

60 - n = 50

-n = 50 - 60

-n = - 10

Therefore, n = 10

Therefore, the number of persons that are both Managers and Engineers is 10persons.
