JEE Main 2020 (Online) 4th September Morning Slot Mathematics - Sets and Relations Question 81 English Explanation

A ∪\cup B = 63 - x + x + 76 - x = 139 - x

As 139 - x ≤\le 100

⇒\Rightarrow x ≥\ge 39

From venn diagram, you can see x should be less than 76 and 63 otherwise only A newspaper or only B newspaper reader will be negative number.

Intersection of x ≤\le 63 and x ≤\le 76 is = x ≤\le 63.

∴\therefore 39 ≤\le x ≤\le 63

From options possible value of x = 55.
