Seventy percent of the employees in a multinational corporation have VCD
players, 75 percent have microwave ovens ,80 percents have Acs and 85 percent
have washing machines .At least what percent of employees has all four gadgets
?
solution
The least percentage of people with all 4 gadgets would happen if all the
employees who are not having any one of the four objects is mutually exclusive
thus 100-30-25-20-15=10
Let us call the people P1, P2, P3... P100
P = 30 people
don't have VCD. Let them be P1, P2.. P30
Q = 25 people
don't have ovens. Let them be P31, P32, P33... P55
R = 20 people
don't have ACs. Let them be P56, P57, P58... P75.
S = 15 people
don't have Washing Machines. Let them be P76, P77... P90.
Now, P91, P92...
P100 have everything. So, 10 people have everything.
If you make some
people common in P, Q, R, and S; then the number of people who have everything
will be more that 10.
=> The minimum number of people
who have everything is 10.
