Hi..

Let's see the statements
1. 50 houses in the community have a garden but do not have a lobby.
60 had garden and 50 have only garden so 10 have both but nothing more.
Insufficient

2. The number of houses in the community that have both a garden and a lobby is equal to the number of houses that have neither.
\(L_{only}+G_{only}+both+neither=90\)
Let both=x=neither...
We are looking for L_only+x...
So \(L_{only}+G_o+B+n=L_o+60+x=90......L_o+x=30\)
So Answer 30
Sufficient

Hi Bunuel chetan2u KarishmaB Kinshook ScottTargetTestPrep
I made a 2*2 matrix for this one and got confused and got the qs wrong. But when I solved using the venn diagram, I could correctly answer the qs. Could you please guide me as to when to use a venn and when to use a 2 by 2?

Hi,

For a 2 by 2 matrix, you should be able to divide the elements in 4 interconnected items.
For example: Male and Female are two elements of your 2*2 matrix
The next should be two elements that add you to the total in each element : (literate and non-literate) or (sportsman and non sportsman) or (<35yrs and 35&more) and so on.

Here you have houses and we are looking at two characteristics amongst these house. So Venn Diagram
