A

93

B

26

C

23

D

96

Answer

93

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (A):
Let the number of students who like both pizza and burger be 'm'.
The number of students who like neither of them be n
From venn diagram 105 - m + m + 134 - m + n = 200 m - n = 39
∴ The possible values of (m, n) are (39, 0) (40, 1)…….(105, 66)
∴ The number of students who like only burger is lies in the range [134 - 105, 134 - 39] = [29, 95]
∴ From options, 93 is a possible answer
