Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: B+E
Reasoning: The question asks for the number of persons who have faith in both Allopathic and Homeopathic medicines. That corresponds to the regions that lie in the overlap of the Allopathic and Homeopathic circles.
B represents people who believe in Allopathic and Homeopathic only (the two-way overlap excluding Ayurvedic).
E represents people who believe in all three types (Allopathic, Homeopathic and Ayurvedic); these people also believe in both Allopathic and Homeopathic.
Therefore the complete set of people who believe in both Allopathic and Homeopathic is B+E.
