Question and options
In a class, 25% of all students read news from the Internet. Moreover, 45% of all students read news from printed newspaper. Further, 20% of all students read news from both the Internet and printed newspaper and they do not play video games. It is also known that 30% of the students who do not read news play video games. The minimum percentage of students who do not play video games is
- 45 percent
- 25 percent
- 35 percent
- 55 percent
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 55 percent
Union of readers = 25 + 45 - 20 = 50%, so 50% read no news; 30% of them (15%) play games and 35% do not. The 20% reading both do not play. The remaining 30% (only-Internet or only-paper readers) may all play. Minimum non-players = 35 + 20 = 55%.
