Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution:
People who speak at least one language = total people − people who speak neither = 1865 − 120 = 1745
Sum of English and Hindi speakers = 660 + 1305 = 1965
Using the formula English + Hindi − Both = At least one, we get Both = 1965 − 1745 = 220
Answer: 220 people can speak both languages.
