Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for direct correlation, you're looking for a proportion for the second box. So you set the ratio of 2.5:5.5 up as a fraction. 2.5/5.5 and set it equal to the second box 3/x.

2.5     =      3

5.5             x

cross multiply

16.5=2.5x

and divide

16.5/2.5 and you get your answer

mina [271]

Let the three items be M, Y and P.

n{M ∩ Y} only = 4-3 = 1

n{M ∩ P) only = 5-3 = 2

n{ Y ∩ P} only = 2

n{M} only = 12-(1+3+2) = 6

n{Y} only = 10-(1+2+3) = 4

n{P} only = 14-(2+3+2) = 7

n{M∩P∩Y} = 3

Number of women in the group = 6+4+7+(1+2+2+3) as above =25 women.
