Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven: Total persons in a town is 840
Persons who read Hindi = 450
Persons who read English = 300
Persons who read both Hindi and English = 200
Persons who read neither Hindi nor English = Total persons in a town - (Persons who read Hindi + Persons who read English + Persons who read both Hindi and English)
= 840 - [450 + 300 - 200]
= 840 - 550
= 290
∴ The number of persons who read neither language is 290.
Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
