A set is a group of related item.

  • 34 had ridden on LRT only
  • 23 had ridden on bus only
  • 9 had ridden on jeep only
  • 5 did not ride on any

Let:

[tex]Total =120[/tex]

[tex]B = 68 \to Bus[/tex]

[tex]L = 78 \to LRT[/tex]

[tex]J =33 \to Jeep[/tex]

[tex]n(B\ n\ L) = 40[/tex]

[tex]n(B\ n\ J) = 20[/tex]

[tex]n(L\ n\ J) = 19[/tex]

[tex]All = 15[/tex]

(a) Bus only

This is calculated using:

[tex]B\ only = B - n(B\ n\ L) - n(B\ n\ J) + All[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B\ only = 68 - 40 - 20 + 15[/tex]

[tex]B\ only = 23[/tex]

(b) LRT only

This is calculated using:

[tex]L\ only = L - n(B\ n\ L) - n(L\ n\ J) + All[/tex]

So,

[tex]L\ only = 78 - 40 - 19 + 15[/tex]

[tex]L\ only = 34[/tex]

(c) Jeep only

This is calculated using:

[tex]J\ only = J - n(B\ n\ J) - n(L\ n\ J) + All[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]J\ only = 33 - 20 - 19 + 15[/tex]

[tex]J\ only = 9[/tex]

(d) None

Let x represents those that took none of the means of transport.

So, we have:

[tex]Total = B\ only + J\ only + L\ only + [n(B\ n\ L) -All] +[n(B\ n\ J) -All] +[n(L\ n\ J) -All] + All + x[/tex]

This gives

[tex]120= 34 + 23 + 9 + [40 -15] +[20 -15] +[19 -15] + 15 + x[/tex]

[tex]120= 115 + x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x = 120 - 115[/tex]

[tex]x = 5[/tex]
