A survey shows that 63% of the people watch a News channel whereas 76% watch another channel. If \(x\%\) of the people watch both channel, then

(a) \(x=35\)

(b) \(x=63\)

(c) \(39\le x\le63\)

(d) \(x=39\)

Solution

Let

\[ n(A)=63\%,\qquad n(B)=76\% \]

Using,

\[ n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B) \]

\[ 100\ge63+76-x \]

\[ 100\ge139-x \]

\[ x\ge39 \]

Also,

\[ x\le63 \]

since intersection cannot exceed the smaller set.

Therefore,

\[ 39\le x\le63 \]

Answer

\[ \boxed{39\le x\le63} \]

Correct option: (c)
