#participants who attended only NT = x
#participants who attended only DI = 6x
#participants who attended only PM = z = 12 * (#participants who attended only DI AND NT) = 12y ....... (1)

Also, #participants who attended only NT, x = z/4 => z = 4x ........ (2)

From (1) and (2),
4x = 12y => x = 3y ...... (3)

#participants who attended PM = 220

Total participants = 308
=> x + 6x + y + 220 = 308
=> 7(3y) + y + 220 = 308 (from (3))
=> y = 4
and, x = 3y = 12

#participants who attended exactly 1 conference
= x + 6x + z
= 11x (from (2))
= 11(12) = 132

At a professional conference, 308 participants signed up for at least one of three evening workshops: Data Analysis, Project Management, and Negotiation Training. Exactly six times as many participants attended only Data Analysis as attended only Negotiation Training. The number of participants who attended only Project Management was twelve times the number who attended both Data Analysis and Negotiation Training but not Project Management. The number who attended only Negotiation Training was one-quarter of the number who attended only Project Management. If 220 participants attended the Project Management workshop, how many participants attended exactly one of the three workshops?

Given

Total : 308
None : 0 ( given in question)
Data analysis only : 6N
Negotiation training only : N
Project management only : 12y
Data analysis + Negotiation training : Y = N/3
Project Management : 220

So Total = P + D only + N only + (N + D both)

308 = 220 + 6N + N + (N/3)
N = 12

so 6N = 72 + N = 12 + 4N = 48 = 132

Option D is the answer

I'm sure many have covered the answer with tables and venn-diagrams; I'll share a logical / estimation - based solution that can help during crunch moments / if you're stuck for time or any of the methods.


Let's first organization the non-variable data:

- 308 participants signed up for at least one of three evening workshops: Data Analysis (DA), Project Management (PM), and Negotiation Training (NT).

- Now, the first thing I did was: Scanned to find any concrete numbers, as I know these'll be catalysts for finding the answer.

- We get: 220 people attended the PM workshop.

- We need to find people who attended exactly one of the three workshops - That's PM only, DA only, and NT only.


Cool, we can now proceed to variable-based conditions:

- 6 times as many people attended only DA as did only NT.

- We also know that those who attended PM was 12 times those who attended both DA and NT, but not PM (one way to see this is, this number will be something of a single digit; as out of 308 people, we know 220 people attended PM, which means only 88 didn't, and out of these 88, even if all 88 attended PM, the number of people who attended both DA and NT but not PM will be in the single digits, as 88 / 12 = at most 7).

- Now, we also know that those who attended only NT was 1/4 of those who attended PM only.


We need to, obviously, pin this down more specifically, so it's time to play with equations.

Let's assume those who attended DA + NT only, is x.

Naturally, with that, the value 12 times this x, or the value of PM only, will be 12x.

Now, why not apply the x further? Only NT is 1/4 of those who attend only PM; so only NT = 12x/4 = 3x.

Oh, and of course, only DA is six times the value of only NT, right? That's 3x * 6 = 18x.

Cool, we have ratios now.

Only NT = 3x.
Only DA = 18x.
Only PM = 12x.

Let's see if there's only one answer that will divide 3x + 18x + 12x = 33x into an integer, as that will clearly be our answer.

3x + 18x + 12x = 33x.

We're looking for a multiple of 33.

Is 48 a multiple of 33? No.
88? No.
120? No.
132? Yes - 33*4!
136 - No.

We have our answer, D!






So,

Let PM be the people who attended only Project Management and nothing else... DA and NT accordingly.
Let PM&DA the people who attended both, and not NT... PM&NT and DA&NT accordingly.
Let PM&DA&NT the people who attended the 3 of them.

Let's write the equations we get from the problem:

I) PM + NT + DA + PM&NT + DA&NT + PM&DA + PM&DA&NT = 308
II) DA = 6*NT
III) PM = 12*DA&NT
IV) PM = 4*NT
V) PM + PM&NT + PM&DA + PM&NT&DA = 220

We want in the end PM + NT + DA = ?

let's put the III in the V so we get 12*DA&NT + PM&NT + PM&DA + PM&NT&DA = 220
let's now do I - V
PM + NT + DA - 11*DA&NT = 88 ==> PM + NT +DA = 88 + 11*DA&NT ( 88 + multiple of 11)

from this we are only left with the options A or D.

But we remove option A because if DA&NT = 0, then the III) would imply PM =0 and the IV) NT =0 and the II) DA=0
Hence we opt for Option D!

IMO D!

Let only D be d
Let only N be n
Let only P be p


Let D and N only be a
Let P and N only be b
let P and D only be c

let all 3 be x

To find d+n+p

Given:

d+n+p+a+b+c+x = 308 -- (1)

d = 6n
p = 12*a
n = 0.25 * p => p = 4n
a = 4n/12 = n/3

p+b+c+x = 220 -- (2)

To find 6n+n+4n = ?, 11n =?

(1) - (2)

=> d+n+a = 88
6n + n + n/3 = 88
18n + 3n + n = 88*3
22n = 88*3
n = 12
=> 11n = 132

Correct answer: D

Total = 308
Let N (Negotiation Training) be x
then D (data analysis) = 6x
Also, N=1/4(p) , so P=4x
It is also given that P = 12(D N), then DN = x/3
220 students attended P
220 = only p + PD + PN + PND
220= 4x + PD + PN + PND
PD+PN+PND = 220-4x
Now,
308= (PD+PN+PND) + P + N+ D+ DN
308=220-4x +4x + 6x+x+x/3
88=7x+x/3
88*3=22x
x=12
so , 6x+x+4x= 72+12+48=132

Total number of participants who signed up for atleast one of the three workshops = 308

Let the number of participants who signed up for only Negotiation Training be x. Therefore, the total number of partipants who signed up for Data Analysis only be 6x.

Let the number of participants who attended both Data Analysis and Negotiation Training but not Project Management be y. Thus, the number of participants who attended only Project Management = 12y, and the number of participants who attended only Negotiation Training = 1/4*12y = 3y, i.e. x = 3y

Hence, y = x/3

Since the number of participants who attended the Project Management workshop = 220:
308 = 220 + x + y + 6x

Since y = x/3:
308 = 220 + x + x/3 + 6x

Hence, x = 12

Number of participants who attended exactly one of the three workshops = x+12y+6x = x+4x+6x = 11x

As x = 12, 11x = 11*12 = 132

Hence, the correct option is Option D

Let's assign variables to the only region and intersection region;
d: Only data analysis
p:Only project management
n:Only negotiation training
dn : Data and negotiation(not project)
dp: Data and project (not negotiation)
pn: project and negotiation(not data)
all: all three workshops.

Total participants : d+p+n+dn+dp+pn+all =308
Only D Vs Only N : d = 6n
p = 12(dn)
Total participants : d+p+n+dn+pn+all = 308 ----(1)
d= 6n .......(2)
p = 12(dn).... (3)
n=1/4P ......(4)
Total project mgmt = p+dp+pn+all=220 ....(5)
using eqn 3 nd 4
we get 4n = 12(dn) , dn=1/3n
Substituting into total equations
(d+n+dn) = total - project circle
d+n+dn = 308-220=88

Substitute our n variables into this
6n+n+1/3n = 88
18n+3n+n/3 = 88
22n/3 = 88 , n=12
so , n=12
d= 6x12=72
p =4n = 4x12=48
exactly one workshop = 72+48+12=132

At a professional conference, 308 participants signed up for at least one of three evening workshops: Data Analysis, Project Management, and Negotiation Training.

Let, Only Data Analysis = D
Only Project Management= P
Only Negotiation Training = N
Who took only D & P = DP
Who only took D & N = DN
Who only took P & N = PN
Who took all three workshops = DPN

Exactly six times as many participants attended only Data Analysis as attended only Negotiation Training.
D=6N

The number of participants who attended only Project Management was twelve times the number who attended both Data Analysis and Negotiation Training but not Project Management.
P=12(DN)

The number who attended only Negotiation Training was one-quarter of the number who attended only Project Management.
N=(1/4)P or P=4N

220 participants attended the Project Management workshop.
P+DP+PN+DPN= 220
4N+DP+PN+DPN = 220
DP+PN+DPN=220-4N

D+P+N+DP+DN+PN+DPN=308
6N+4N+N+DP+(N/3)+PN+DPN=308
(34/3)N+(DP+PN+DPN)=308
(34/3)N =308-(220-4N)
N=12

Only D= 6N= 6*12= 72
Only P= 4N= 4*12= 48
Only N= 12

Who attended Exactly one workshop = 72+48+12= 132

Let D P N be the people who attended data analysis, project management and negotiation training respectively.
Let n be the number of participants who attended only negitiation training.
So d, the number of participants who attended only data analysis = 6n
Also p, the number of participants who attended project management only = 4n.
Let k be the number of participants who attended D and N only
Then,
Given that p = 12 * k = 4n
This gives k = n/3

P = 220 (given)
This includes p, D&P, P&N, all three. Let D&P P&N all three add up to another number z
So p + z = 220
4n + z = 220
z = 220 - 4n

Total number of participants = p + n + d +P&N + P&D + D&N + all three = 308
6n + n + 4n + n/3 + 220 - 4n = 308
7n + n/3 = 308 - 220 = 88
Solving, we get n = 12

Number of participants attending exactly one workshop = 6n + n + 4n = 11n = 11*12 = 132

Given:
Only Data Analysis =6x
Only Project Management =4x
Only Project Management =12*(Data & Negotiation only)
Total participants = 308
Total Project Management attendees = 220
So non-PM attendees = 308−220=88
Non-PM attendees has: D only+N only+(D & N only)=6x+x+x/3 = 88
Multiply by 3: 18x+3x+x=264⇒22x=264 => x=12

Participants who attended exactly one workshop:
6x+4x+x=11x=11(12)=132

Using the same drawing as in https://gmatclub.com/forum/advanced-ove ... 44260.html with:
A=Data Analysis
B=Project Management
C=Negotiation Training

a=6c
b=12e
b=4c

b+d+f+g=220

a+b+c+d+e+f+g=308

There is no information about d,f and g, so define h=d+f+g

Then, the equations are:
a=6c
b=12e
b=4c
b+h=220
a+b+c+e+h=308

5 equations and 5 unknows, solving:
a=6c=6b/4=3*12e/2=18e
b=12e
c=b/4=3e
h=220-b=220-12e
33e+e+220-12e=308
22e=88
e=4

a+b+c=33e=33*4=132

Let Negotiation Only is "X" hence Data Analysis only is 6X. Let who attended both data analysis & Negotiation training but not project management is "P" so Project only would be "12*P". From condition X = 1/4*(12P) = 3P. Let in ven diagram rest three are K1, K2, K3.

So 6X + X + P + 12P + K1 + K2 + K3 = 308 & 12P + K1 + K2 + K3 = 220 using these two equations 7X + P = 88 , put X = 3P so P = 4 so X = 12.

Question is asking 6X + X + 12P = 33P = 132.

Only P =12 * Only N&D
Let Only N&D = y then Only P = 12y

Only N = (1/4) * Only P
=> x = (1/4) * 12y
=> 4x = 12y
=> x = 3y

Since 220 attended P, hence we have
Now Only P + Only P&D + Only P&N + All Three = 220

Using all of th3e above in equation 1 we get
308 = 6x + x + y + 220
=> 88 = 7x + y + 220
=> 88 = 21y + y (Using x = 3y)
=> 88 = 22y
=> y = 4

Now Only D + Only N + Only P = 6x + x + 12y = 33y = 33*4 = 132

Option D
Bunuel
At a professional conference, 308 participants signed up for at least one of three evening workshops: Data Analysis, Project Management, and Negotiation Training. Exactly six times as many participants attended only Data Analysis as attended only Negotiation Training. The number of participants who attended only Project Management was twelve times the number who attended both Data Analysis and Negotiation Training but not Project Management. The number who attended only Negotiation Training was one-quarter of the number who attended only Project Management. If 220 participants attended the Project Management workshop, how many participants attended exactly one of the three workshops?

A. 48
B. 88
C. 120
D. 132

Let d=data analysis, p=project management, n= negotiation training
Only D = d, Only P = p, Only N = n, D/P only (not p) = x, D/P only = y, P/N only = z, All three = t
=> d = 6n
=> p = 12x
=> n = 1/4p => p = 12x => n=3x
=> d = 6n =18x

=> project management total => p+y+z+t = 220
=> p=12x => 12x+y+z+t = 220
=> total participants = 308
=> d+p+n+x+y+z+t = 308

=> 34x+y+z+t = 308
Subtract A from B => (34x+y+z+t) - (12x+y+z+t) = 308 -220 =-> x=4

Exactly one = only D+P+N: d+p+n
Substitute x = 4:
n = 2x = 12 ; d=18x = 72; p=12x = 48 => Total = 72 => D

We know that there are 3 workshops named data analysis, project management and negotiation training

Total number of participants who have signed up = 308
Let the possible combinations for participants going to these workshops be as follows,
Only data analysis = a
Only project management = b
Only negotiation training = c
Data & negotiation = x
Data & project = y
Project & negotiation = z
All three combined = m

Based on what we are given,
Exactly 6 times as many attended only data analysis as only negotiation training
=> a = 6c

Project management is 12 times those who attended data & negotiation but not project
=> b = 12x

Only negotiation training is 1 quarter of only project management
=> b = 4c

220 participants attended the project management
=> b + y + z + m = 220

Since we know that, 308 participants attended atleast 1 workshop
a + b + c + x + y + z + m = 308

From above we can say that,
=> x = b/12 = 4c/12 = c / 3

We know that,
b + y + z + m = 220
=> y + z + m = 220 - 4c

Now,
a + b + c + x + y + z + m = 308
=> 6c + 4c + c + (c/3) + (220 - 4c) = 308 (Substituting all the know expressions to c)
=> c = 12
=> b = 4c = 48
=> a = 6c = 72

Now,
Exactly one workshop = a + b + c = 72 + 48 + 12 = 132

D. 132
