(a) In a market survey, 100 traders sell fruits, 40 sell apples, 46 oranges, 50 mangoes, 14 apples and oranges, 15 apples and mangoes and 10 sell the three types of fruits. Each of the 100 traders sells at least one of the three fruits.

(i) Represent the information in a Venn diagram ; (ii) Find the number that sell oranges and mangoes only.

Explanation

(a)(i) 

(ii) \(21 + 4 + 5 + 10 + y + 35 - y + 32 - y = 100\)

\(107 - y = 100\)

\(y = 107 - 100 = 7\)

Therefore, 7 traders sell oranges and mangoes alone.

(b) \(312_{four} + 52_{x} = 96_{ten}\)

\(312_{4} = 3 \times 4^{2} + 1 \times 4^{1} + 2 \times 4^{0}\)

= \(48 + 4 + 2 = 54_{10}\)

\(52_{x} = 5 \times x^{1} + 2 \times x^{0}\)

= \((5x + 2)_{10}\)

\(\therefore 54 + (5x + 2) = 96\)

\(56 + 5x = 96 \implies 5x = 96 - 56 = 40\)

\(x = 8\)

\(\therefore 312_{4} + 52_{8} = 96_{10}\)
