Find the total number of people who like only jazz music is how much more/less than the total number of people who like at least two types of music.
Correct Answer :
10
Solution :
The correct option is 10.
Let us break down the given information step-by-step using set theory and Venn diagram concepts for the three music types: Jazz, Rock, and Folk.
Step 1: Extract the given data for each region
1. People who like all three types of music = 15
2. People who like only Folk = 50
3. People who like both Jazz & Folk (only) = 20
4. People who like both Rock & Folk (only) is 50% more than people who like both Jazz & Folk (only):
5. People who like both Jazz & Rock (only) is the average of people who like both Jazz & Folk (only) and both Rock & Folk (only):
Step 2: Calculate the number of people who like only Jazz music
The total number of people who like Jazz is given as 140.
Total Jazz = (Only Jazz) + (Only Jazz & Rock) + (Only Jazz & Folk) + (All three)
Step 3: Calculate the total number of people who like at least two types of music
People who like at least two types of music include those who like exactly two types of music plus those who like all three types of music:
At least two types = (Only Jazz & Rock) + (Only Jazz & Folk) + (Only Rock & Folk) + (All three)
Step 4: Find the required difference
We need to find how much the total number of people who like only jazz music is more/less than the total number of people who like at least two types of music:
Thus, the number of people who like only jazz music is 10 less than the number of people who like at least two types of music.
