Of the 25 cars sold at a certain dealership yesterday, some had automatic transmission and some had anti-lock brakes. How many of the cars had a automatic transmission but not antilock brakes?

(1) all of the cars that had anti-lock brakes also had an automatic transmission
(2) 2 of the cars had neither automatic transmission nor anti-lock brakes

I got the answer right but it took me quite a while was wondering if anyone had a suggestion of using tables, venn diagram etc?

Look at the attachment above .

ALB: Anti Lock Brakes
NALB: No Anti Lock Brakes
AT: Automatic Transmission
NAT: No Automatic Transmission

We need to find the value of x ie.


With given data we can only find x+y =23 but not x.

Hence Answer is E

sigh, lots of questions today.

Can someone explain this to me.
If
1. ALL the cars that had antilock also had automatic trans.. and
2. 2 of the cars had neither auto nor anti lock

Does that not mean that 23 cars had anti-lock in which case 23 cars also had auto...and thus filling in all the boxes, this would be solvable?
