use 2x2 matrix


---Watch---NW----total
CP--x/2 ---140-x ----80
NCP-- 200-- 120---320
total-- 260---140---400
x/2 +140-x=80
solve for x = 120
200 is watch ncp
option D

Let no. of people given neither watch nor phone =2n
therefore no. of people given both watch and phone =n
According to given problem

Only watch + only phone + both phone and watch + neither watch nor phone = 400
(260-n)+(80-n)+(n)+(2n)=400
n=60

therefore people given only watch=260-n=260-60=200

Hence Ans is D
