There are three broad categories under which most TV programs fall: Epic, Documentary, and Soap. Recently, more experimental programming has seen the introduction of programs that can be categorised under several of the three­ categories. A summary of TV listings provides the following data:

Of the 100 programs,
A. There are 60 programs that can be categorized at least partly as Epic.
B. There are 50programs that can be categorized at least partly as Documentary.
C. There are 30 programs that can be categorized at least partly as Soap.
D. Each of the 100 programs is covered by at least one of the above three points, A or B or C.

Make exactly two selections, one in each column.­
­It is inference question and you can't really provide concrete answers from available data.

Basic facts
A. There are 60 programs that can be categorized at least partly as Epic. (Max limit of EPIC programs is 60 shows)
B. There are 50programs that can be categorized at least partly as Documentary.(Max limit of Documentry programs is 50 shows)
C. There are 30 programs that can be categorized at least partly as Soap.(Max limit of Soap programs is 30 shows)
D. Each of the 100 programs is covered by at least one of the above three points, A or B or C. (Every programm comes under atleast one of these categories)

Option 1- The maximum possible number of programs that can be classified as only Epic is 60.
We just can't infer this. Total number of programs if we add under each category is 140 (60+50+30)
So there will always be shows under EPIC category to have overlap with something else

Option 2- It is possible for 20 programs to be Epic documentaries.
It is possible.
5o programms (EPIC+Documentry)
30 only SOAPs
20 only epic

Option 3- The minimum possible number of programs classified as only Epic documentaries is 0.
Its possible.
20 EPIC+soap+doc
10 soap only
40 EPIC only
30 doc only

Option 4- The maximum possible number of programs that can be classified as only Soap is 30.
It is possible
30 Soap only
40 EPIC +DOC
20 EPIC only
10 DOC only

Option 5 - A majority of 100 programs can be classified at least partly as Epic.
Its already given. You can infer.
