Answer:

1) 800 (read the both) 2) 2200 (read exactly one)

Explanation:

Find the people (families) who read neither of them

4000/100*25= 1000

It means that the rest 4000-1000= 3000 families read the newspapers at least in one language from the pointed languages. 4000/1oo*50= 2000 - readers in Nepali

4000/100*45= 40*45=1800 - readers in English.

2000+1800= 3800- the special amount, that consists of 1) only Nepali readers

2) only English readers 3) the readers in two languages (but the were counted twice, because we considered them in the group of Nepali readers and group of English readers)

The real quantity of only Nepali readers, only English readers and both language readers is 3000.

S0 3800-3000= 800 people - read in two languages

3000-800=2200 families read exactly one kind of these papers
