    After purchasing a laptop 30 people surveyed were asked how they compared and purchased different models.

    15 bought through an online store.
    10 said they used a high street shop.
    5 used other methods.
    Of those who bought online, 60% used an online review comparison site.
    20% of the rest did so too.

    2. How many used online review sites in total?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D. The Venn diagram across sets out the scenario. x + y are equal to 20% of 10+5 so are equal to 3. This means that in total it is 9+3 which equals 12.

    A group of 75 musicians at a conservatoire reported the following:

    30 owned a flute.
    20 owned at least an oboe and a guitar with 5 owning all 3.
    15 owned an oboe only.
    12 owned a guitar only.

    3. How many people do not have either?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    The first area to fill in is the centre section which has 5.

    Then we can fill in the rest of the overlap between the oboe and the guitar which is 20 – 5 = 15.

    Now we can fill in the guitar only and the oboe only sections from the final two bullet points.

    We do not know the exact split of the oboe owners but we know that x + y + z = 25 (because 30 – 5 = 25).

    We do not know the exact split of the oboe owners but we know that x + y + z = 25 (because 30 – 5 = 25).
    75 – 25 – 5 – 15 – 15 -12 = 3 and so there are 3 people who own none of the three instruments.

    There are 28 people in a room.

    When asked about rugby, 12 said they liked football and 6 people said they liked rugby.

    4. Which of the following statements must be true?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is A. The maximum number of people who like one but not both is 18 which would leave 10 who like neither. The maximum of people who like both is 6 which would give 6 people liking football and 6 people liking both. This would leave 16 people liking neither.

    There are 120 people in a school year.

    100 have smartphones

    25 have laptops

    18 have neither.

    5. How many have both a laptop and a smartphone?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C. 

    100 – x + 25 – x + x + 18 = 120

    143 – x = 120

    x = 23

    30 people had vegetable with their dinner. They could have a combination of 1, 2 or all 3 of the vegetables available.

    4 only had broccoli
    5 had both sweetcorn and peas.
    2 others had all three.
    7 had peas only
    18 had peas in total
    17 did not have broccoli
    Nobody had none of the three vegetables.

    7. How many people ate sweetcorn only?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C. 

    First we can fill in the central section with 2.

    We can now fill in the broccoli only and the peas only.

    We can now fill in both the sweetcorn and peas overlap and the peas and broccoli overlap as 18 – 7 – 5 – 2 = 4.

    30 – 17 = 13.

    4 + 4 + 2 = 10.

    13 – 10 = 3 so there is 3 in the broccoli and sweetcorn overlap.

    x + 5 + 2 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 4 = 30.

    x + 25 = 30

    x = 5 so the answer option is C.

    There are 75 people in a library.

    20 more people have borrowed a book and used the wifi than have used the wifi only.
    All the people have used at least used one service
    Five fewer people only borrowed a book than only used the wifi.

    9. How many used the wifi?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.  The Venn diagram can be drawn as opposite.
    This gives 3X + 15 = 75. Therefore 3X = 60 and X = 20.

    120 people had sorbet for dessert. The could have a combination of 1, 2 or 3 of the flavours available.

    20 only had mango
    5 had mango and lemon only
    35 had all three
    67 people had mango in total.
    4 times as many people had at least two flavours than had mango only
    8 more people had lemon only than had lemon and mango.

    10. How many people had passionfruit only?
  • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is A.

    From the first line we can fill in mango only as 20.

    From the next line we know that the intersection of mango and lemon is 5.

    We are told that 35 had all three.

    If 67 people had mango in total 67-35-5-20 – 7 so seven must be the overlap between passionfruit and mango.

    4 times as many people had two flavours than the 20 who had mango only so the intersections must equal 80. This means that the final overlap is equal to 33.

    5+8=13 so the only lemon section is equal to 13.

    120-33-35-7-20-5-13=7 so 7 had passionfruit only.
