The question asks how many people could eat both types of fruit. Graphically:
Mathematically, you can use the formula Total = Group 1 + Group 2 - Both + Neither. The complication, however, is that you’re given no information about either the Both or Neither groups. Are there any hidden constraints? At the very least, 300 people must be eating some kind of fruit, because there are 300 people who eat oranges.
There are 320 total in the group; of the remaining 20 people (who don’t eat oranges), anywhere from 0 to all 20 people could eat no fruit at all.
Therefore, the number of people who could eat both fruits is 180 at a minimum and 200 at a maximum. Any value that falls between these two bounds is valid. The correct answers are 180 and 190.
Answer: D,E
