From task we know that students with less than 3 years doesn't have intersection with business and more than three years
so more than 3 years only + business only + united business and more than 3 years + 60 (less than 3 years) = 200

more than 3 years only + business only = 140
more than 3 years + business = 120 + 70 = 190
intersect equal 190 - 140 = 50 students who have business and more than 3 years

Answer is B

A = out of college for at least 3 years
B = has a business degree

\(A + B -(Both) +(Neither) = Total\)
\(120+70-(Both)+60=200\)
\(-(Both)=-50\)
\(Both = 50\)

Answer B

We can use the formula:

Total = (at least 3 years) + (business degrees) - both + neither

200 = 120 + 70 - both + 60

200 = 250 - both

both = 50
