\(n (J) = 119\)

\(n (M) = 113\)

\(n ( M ∩ J ) = 51\)

\(n ( M ∪ J ) = n (J) + n (M) - n ( M ∩ J )\)

\(n ( M ∪ J ) = 119 + 113 - 51\)

\(n ( M ∪ J ) = 181\)

\(n ( M ∪ J )' = Σ - n ( M ∪ J )\)

\(n ( M ∪ J )' = 200 - 181\)

So, \(n ( M ∪ J )' = 19\)

Hence, Answer will be (E) 19

Option E)

Total no. of students = 200

No. of students who like Juice = 119
No. of students who like Milk = 113
No. of students who like Both = 51

Total no. of students = No. of students who like only Juice + No. of students who like only Milk + No. of students who like Both + No. of students who like Neither
200 = (119 - 51) + (113 - 51) + 51 + No. of students who like Neither

No. of students who like Neither = 200 - 68 - 62 - 51 = 19

I really like to emphasize on using the Manahattan Prep method for these kind of problems. See the image for the method and answer.

The given values are in green and the calculated values are in blue.

Please give Kudos+1 if you like the procedure.

We can create the equation:

Total students = like milk + like juice - like both + like neither

200 = 113 + 119 - 51 + n

200 = 181 + n

19 = n
