Answer: 

Dancer= 6/13 x 260=120                     7           Singer= —  x 260=140               13

	Dancer	Singer

Group B and C (B ∩ C)	7	8
Group C and A (C ∩ A)	5	7
Group A,B & C (A ∩ B  ∩C)	3	4

1. 4; Required percentage = x 100 = x 100 = 17.69% 2. 1; Required Ratio = (60+36) : (56+42) = 96:98 = 48:49 3. 2; Required Percentage = x 100 = x 100 = 42.86% 4. 2; Required Percentage = x 100 = x 100 = 16.67% 5. 3; Required Percentage = x 100 = 46.67%
