In a certain town,
of each 100 men 85 are married, 70
have a telephone,
75 own a car, and 80 own their own
house. Always
on a base of 100 men, what is the least
possible number who
are married, have a telephone, own
a car, and own their
own house?
THE SOLUTION
15 are not married,
30 do not have a telephone, 25 do
not have a car, 20
do not own their own house. It is
possible that these
90 men are all different, which
would leave only
10 men with wife, phone, car, and house. |
