Answer : 64

Explanatory Answer

The set of students who like Sunita and Ragini are disjoint sets.
Hence, the Venn diagram can be drawn as follows

There are 500 students in all.
From statement (2)
Sunita = 200. Hence, Ragini = 300.
From statement (1) A (Sunita) + A (Ragini) = 250 and B (Sunita) + B (Ragini) = 250.
From (2), A (Sunita) = 160. Hence, A (Ragini) = 90.
From (4), B (Sunita) = 20 % of 250 = 50. Hence, B (Ragini) = 200.
From (6), g (Sunita) = 50 and hence, b (Sunita) = 0 and a (Sunita) = 110. Hence, n (Sunita) =
40.
From (7), n (Ragini) = 60
It is given that 250 support B, hence the other 250 do not support B.
From (5), (a + n) of Ragini = 40 % of 250 = 100. Hence, a (Ragini) = 40.
Thus, the final solution is as follows.

The required value is 160/250*100 = 64
