Let's denote H & S, Dove, and Pantene with H, D, and P respectively. Also, let's assume that the total number of people be 100.
Given that 80% of the women surveyed were using at least one of the three brands: H, D, and P.
So, n(H u D u P) = 80
Also, 40% of those surveyed were using H & S, 30% of those surveyed were using Dove and 60% of those surveyed were using Pantene.
n(H) = 40
n(D) = 30
n(P) = 60
Also, 20% of the surveyed women use all three brands.
So, n(H n D n P) = 20
We know, n(H u D u P) = n(H) + n(D) + n(P) - n(H n D) - n(D n P) - n(P n H) + n(H n D n P)
So, 80 = 40 + 30 + 60 - n(H n D) - n(D n P) - n(P n H) + 20
n(H n D) + n(D n P) + n(P n H) = 70
The number of women who use two or all of the given three brands = n(H n D) + n(D n P) + n(P n H) - 2 n(H n D n P) = 70 - 2X20 = 70 - 40 = 30
Therefore, the percentage of the women surveyed who two or all of the given three brands =30. Hence, the correct answer is D. 30

n(H n D) + n(D n P) + n(P n H) = 70

aragonn
total sample size = 80
h&s= 40
D= 30
P= 60
both = 20
both h&s+p, p +d & h&s+d = x
so
80=40+30+60-(x)-20
solve we get (x) = 30
IMO D
