  3. C All \((A),\) \((B)\) and \((C)\) are correct.
  4. D Only \((A)\) and \((B)\) are correct
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) All \((A),\) \((B)\) and \((C)\) are correct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n(P)\, = \,25\,\% \) \(n(C)\, = \,15\,\% \) \(n(P'\, \cup \,C')\, = \,65\,\% \) \( \Rightarrow n(P \cup \,C')\, = \,65\,\% \) \(n(P \cup \,C)\, = \,35\,\% \) \(n(P \cap \,C)\, = \,n(P)\, + n(C)\, - \,n(P \cup \,C)\) \(25\, + \,15\, - 35\, = \,5\% \)…
