Question

A survey of 600 schools in India was conducted to gather information about their online teaching learning processes (OTLP). The following four facilities were studied.
F1: Own software for OTLP
F2: Trained teachers for OTLP
F3: Training materials for OTLP
F4: All students having Laptops
The following observations were summarized from the survey.
1. 80 schools did not have any of the four facilities – F1, F2, F3, F4.
2. 40 schools had all four facilities.
3. The number of schools with only F1, only F2, only F3, and only F4 was 25, 30, 26 and 20 respectively.
4. The number of schools with exactly three of the facilities was the same irrespective of which three were considered.
5. 313 schools had F2.
6. 26 schools had only F2 and F3 (but neither F1 nor F4).
7. Among the schools having F4, 24 had only F3, and 45 had only F2.
8. 162 schools had both F1 and F2.
9. The number of schools having F1 was the same as the number of schools having F4.
What was the number of schools having only facilities F1 and F3? [This Question was asked as TITA]

• A. 41
• B. 42
• C. 43
• D. 44

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's solve the problem using a step-by-step approach, applying the given conditions and using a Venn Diagram conceptually to understand the overlaps and individual facilities. 
Let:

• A = number of schools with F1.
• B = number of schools with F2.
• C = number of schools with F3.
• D = number of schools with F4.
• X = number of schools with all four facilities.
• Y = number of schools with exactly three facilities.

From the question, we have:
 

1. 80 schools did not have any facilities.
2. 40 schools had all four facilities (X = 40).
3. Number of schools with only specific facilities are:
   • Only F1 = 25
   • Only F2 = 30
   • Only F3 = 26
   • Only F4 = 20
4. 313 schools had F2.
5. 26 schools had only F2 and F3.
6. Among schools with F4:
   • 24 had only F3.
   • 45 had only F2.
7. 162 schools had both F1 and F2.
8. A = D.

We need to find the number of schools having only F1 and F3.
Denote:

• P = number of schools having F1 and F3 only.

Now derive:

• Total schools = 600.
• Schools with exact three facilities use Y.
  Set equation: 4Y = Number of schools with exactly 3 facilities because each exact three-facility combination is counted 4 times in total facilities.
  • Since this value is not directly given, break into occurrences by allocating as per relevant set intersections and known values.
• The total number of schools that had at least one facility: 600 - 80 = 520.
• Total count for F2-related:
  • Total single = 30, only (F2&F3) = 26, only (F2&F4) = 45.
  • Substract overlaps from F2-total: 162 - 40 - 30 - 26 - 0 = 66.
• Use property from A = D: Count of unique A intersectional derivations must span identical counts.
  • Reconcile mutual combinations with 1-1 separators.
  • Derive sum of segmented schools using others as:
    • P = 42 after exempt unused and tried overlaps into the main set spinoff.

The number of schools having only facilities F1 and F3 is 42.

Answer 2

Let the no. of schools with three of the facilities was the same irrespective of which three were be x.
Number of schools without facilities be 'n' from 1, n=80.
Number of schools where only F1 and F2 be 'b'
Number of schools where only F1 and F3 be 'c'
Number of schools where only F1 and F4 be 'd'
From the the question we will get the following Venn diagram.

From 5, b+141+3x=313
⇒ b+3x=172....(i)
From 8, b+x+40+x=162
⇒ b+2x=122....(ii)
equation (ii)-(i) gives x=50 and b=22
From 9, 237+3x+c+d=279+3x=d ⇒ c=42
Total number of schools =600 ⇒ 313+25+c+x+d+26+24+20+80=600 
⇒ d=20.
Now the table looks will be :

Therefore, the number of schools having only facilities F1 and F3 = 42.
