Solution
Given
$\rm n(A) = 40, n(B) = 60, n(A \cup B) = 80$
By using the formula for the union of two sets, we get
$\rm n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)$
$\rm or, n(A \cap B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cup B)$
$\rm or, n(A \cap B) = 40 + 60 - 80$
$\rm \therefore n(A \cap B) = 20$
Now, we show the above information in a Venn diagram.
