46. Out of 100 women surveyed leaving Harrods, 83 had a white bag, 77 had black shoes, 62 carried an umbrella and 95 wore a ring. What is the minimum number of women who must have had all four items?
Answer
17.
Add the number of items together, which gives 83 + 77 + 62 + 95 = 317 among 100 women.
This gives three items to each and four items to 17 of these women.
The least number of women to have all three items is, therefore, 17.
