Venn Diagram: Amusement Park Rides

XAT 2016 · Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation · Medium · Quantitative Ability

In an amusement park, a visitor gets to ride on three different rides (A, B and C) for free. On a particular day 77 opted for ride A, 55 opted for B and 50 opted for C; 25 visitors opted for both A and C, 22 opted for both A and B, while no visitor opted for both B and C. 40 visitors did not opt for ride A and B, or both. How many visited the amusement park on that day?

  1. A.

    102

  2. B.

    115

  3. C.

    130

  4. D.

    135

  5. E.

    150

Answer

E

Explanation

Since no visitor opted for both B and C, n(B∩C)=0n(B \cap C) = 0 and n(A∩B∩C)=0n(A \cap B \cap C) = 0. For set A: n(A∩B)=22n(A \cap B) = 22, n(A∩C)=25n(A \cap C) = 25, so only A = 77−22−25=3077 - 22 - 25 = 30. For set B: n(A∩B)=22n(A \cap B) = 22, so only B = 55−22=3355 - 22 = 33. For set C: n(A∩C)=25n(A \cap C) = 25, so only C = 50−25=2550 - 25 = 25. 40 visitors did not opt for A or B, so they are either in C only (25) or none. Thus None = 40−25=1540 - 25 = 15. Total visitors = 30+33+25+22+25+15=15030 + 33 + 25 + 22 + 25 + 15 = 150.
