We can use the formula:
total = A + E + NA - (A and E only) - (A and NA only) - (E and NA only) - 2(all three) + none
total = 25 + 20 + 20 - 4 - 6 - 7 - 2(all three) + none
total = 48 - 2(all three) + none
We need to determine “all three.” If we know the “total” and “none,” then we can determine “all three.”
Statement One Alone:
The Financial News Daily has 38 reporters in total covering at least 1 of the following continents: Asia, Europe, and North America.
Thus, total = 38 and none = 0. So we have:
38 = 48 - 2(all three) + 0
2(all three) = 10
all three = 5
Statement one alone is sufficient.
Statement Two Alone:
There are more Financial News Daily reporters covering only Asia than there are Financial News Daily reporters covering only North America.
This doesn’t tell us the total number of reporters or the number of reporters covering none of the regions. Statement two alone is not sufficient.
Answer: A
