Question
n a group of 400 people 250 can speak inEnglish only and 70 can speak Hindi only.3(i) How many can speak English ?(ii) How many can speak Hindi ?(iii) How many can speak both Englishand Hindi ?
Solution
(i) The number of people who can speak English includes those who can speak only English and those who can speak both English and Hindi. However, the problem does not provide the number of people who can speak both languages. Therefore, we can only say that at least 250 people can speak English.
(ii) Similarly, the number of people who can speak Hindi includes those who can speak only Hindi and those who can speak both English and Hindi. Again, without the number of people who can speak both languages, we can only say that at least 70 people can speak Hindi.
(iii) To find out how many people can speak both English and Hindi, we would subtract the number of people who can speak only English and only Hindi from the total number of people. However, the problem does not provide the total number of people, so we cannot determine the number of people who can speak both languages.
