In a city, 50% of the population can speak in exactly one language among Hindi, English and Tamil, while 40% of the population can speak in at least two of these three languages. Moreover, the number of people who cannot speak in any of these three languages is twice the number of people who can speak in all these three languages. If 52% of the population can speak in Hindi and 25% of the population can speak exactly in one language among English and Tamil, then the percentage of the population who can speak in Hindi and in exactly one more language among English and Tamil is
- 22%
- 25%
- 30%
- 38%
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 22%
Exactly one 50%, at least two 40%, so none = 10% = 2*(all three) -> all three = 5%, exactly two = 35%. Only-English + only-Tamil = 25% -> only-Hindi = 25%. Hindi 52 = 25 + (Hindi with exactly one other) + 5 -> 22%.
