      There is a shortage of tubelights, bulbs and fans in a village. It is found that
      • All houses do not have either tubelight or bulb or fan.
      • exactly 19% of houses do not have just one of these.
      • atleast 67% of houses do not have tubelights.
      • atleast 83% of houses do not have bulbs.
      • atleast 73% of houses do not have fans.

      What percentage of houses have
      (i) all three items tubelight, bulb and fan missing?
      (ii)exactly 2 items missing?

        Let there are 100 houses
        so number of items required = 300
        number of item missing in whole village = 67+83+73=223
        19 houses not have any 1 of these so
        ->100-19=81 houses should not have 2 or 3 item in there house
        -> 223-19=204 item missing in this 81 house
        let X number of house have 2 item missing so 81-X houses have 3 item missing
        so-> 2X + 3(81-X)=204
        X=39
        81-x= 42 houses not have any of these item ..and 39 have 2 items missing
