Correct Answer: 10
Solution : As per the given instructions, we can draw the following diagram –
Note: S represents stenography in the image.
Here, there will be 7 regions:
a = employees who know typing
b = employees who know stenography
c = employees who know computer
d = employees who know both typing and stenography
e = employees who know stenography and computer
f = employees who know typing and computer
g = employees who know all three
n = Total number of people
So, from the instructions provided, we know that:
a + d + f + g = 24
b + d + e + g = 11
c + e + f + g = 25
d + g = 7
e + g = 4
f + g = 12
g = 3
Therefore, d = 4; e = 1; f = 9; a = 8; b = 3; c = 12
None = 50 – (8 + 3 + 12 + 4 + 9 + 1 + 3) = 10
So, 10 employees know none of the three. Hence, the second option is correct.
