In a certain village of Nepal, all the people speak either Nepali, or Maithili

, or
both the languages. If 60% of them speak Nepali and 80% of them speak
Maithali, how many of them (%) speak both the languages?​

Given,

Nepali speaker : 80% (Y)

Maithili speaker : 60% (X)

We know that,

Both language speaker = Y -X

Now,

Y- X

= 80- 60

= 20

Therefore, 20% people speak both languages
