Question:

In an office, Each and Every person likes jam or coconut, 79% of the people like jam , and 51% like coconut. Find the percentage of people who likes only coconut?

Options:

21%

23%

26%

30%

Correct Answer:

21%

Explanation:

*If each and every person like something, then more than 100% of people like both*.

ATQ, 

jam + coconut= 79% + 51% = 130%

So, Percentage of person who like both = 130% - 100% = 30%

⇒ Only coconut likes = 51% - 30% = 21%
