Correct answer
60
Why this answer is correct
The number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 6 × 35 - 5 = 205
Let the total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Jazz' = 41x
ATQ, 41x = 205
⇒ x = 5
The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'folk' = 56x = 280
The total number of people who prefer to listen only 'Rock' = 79x = 395
Let the total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y
The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 75% × 4y = 3y
The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Rock' and 'Jazz' but not 'Folk' = 50
The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Rock' but not 'Jazz' = 35
The total number of people who prefer to listen exactly two type of 'music' genres = 130
ATQ, 3y + 50 + 35 = 130 ⇒ y = 15
The total number of people who prefer to listen all three genres = 4y = 60
The number of people who prefer to listen both 'Folk' and 'Jazz' but not 'Rock' = 3y = 45
The number of people who prefer to listen 'Folk' = 280 + 35 + 60 + 45 = 420
The number of people who prefer to listen 'Rock' = 395 + 35 + 60 + 50 = 540
The number of people who prefer to listen 'Jazz' = 205 + 45 + 60 + 50 = 360
The number of people who prefer to listen all three types of 'music' genres = 60
Hence, the correct answer is 60.
