Answer:

(C)81

Explanation:

Total Number of Students =300

Percentage who had cats, n(C) = 40%

Percentage who had both cats and dogs ,
n(C \cap D) = 12%

Percentage who had neither cats nor dogs,
n(C \cup D)' =45%

Now:

Universal Set,
U = n(C)+n(D)-n(C \cap D)+n(C \cup D)'


100 = 40 + n(D)-12+45\\n(D)=100-73\\$Percentage of those who own dogs =27\%

Therefore:

Number of Students who had dogs

=27% of 300

=81
