41. Ans: [c]

From the figure, exactly two= c + d + f

5. Ans: [a]
Actors Dancers Singers
X + Y + Z = 45
A + B + C = 20
Total = X + Y + Z + A + B + C + 5 = 45 + 20 + 5 = 70 (or) Dancers
There are 70 people in the locality.

43. Ans: [a] Singers Actors

Number of people who read at least two magazines is
Only (1) follows.

Given
7. Ans: [d]
IT:SS:BI = 2:3:4
Let IT = 2X, SS = 3X and BI = 4X 8. Ans: [d]
But it is given that 2X = 18, X = 9 9. Ans: [a]
So, SS = 3X = 27, BI = 4X = 36
Therefore 27 persons read Sports Star. 10. Ans: [d]
Only II follows
45. Ans: [a]
The 10 people who stop reading IT and start reading BI 11. Ans: [d]
could be from region ‘X’ or from region ‘A’. If they are None follows
from ‘X’, they would be added to ‘Z’ and if they are from
12. Ans: [b]
‘A’, they would be added to ‘C’. In either case there is no
net addition to A + B + C. Therefore, the maximum value Books Papers
of A + B + C remains unchanged i.e., 20.
