From the Venn diagram, we have:
The total number of educated people is represented by the triangle, which consists of:
11 (Educated but not backward)
6 (Educated and backward)
5 (Educated and employed, backward)
3 (Educated and employed, not backward)
To find the total number of educated and employed people, we sum the following:
The people who are both educated and employed:
5 (Educated, backward, and employed)
3 (Educated, not backward, and employed)
Therefore, the total number of educated and employed people is:
\[
5 + 3 = 8
\]
Final Answer: The total number of educated and employed people is (d) 9.
