In a hotel, 60\% had vegetarian lunch while 30\% had non-vegetarian lunch and 15\% had both types of lunch. If 96 people were present, how many did not eat either type of lunch?
(a)20
(b)24
(c)26
(d)28
Answer
Answer (as printed): B
Explanation
$n(\mathrm{A})=\left(\frac{60}{100} \times 96\right)=\frac{288}{5}, n(\mathrm{B})$ $$=\left(\frac{30}{100} \times 96\right)=\frac{144}{5}, n(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\left(\frac{15}{100} \times 96\right)=\frac{72}{5} .$$ $\therefore \quad n(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})=n(\mathrm{A})+n(\mathrm{B})-n(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})$
