The question is from CAT Set theory. It is about union of sets. We need to determine a particular value from two sets. CAT exam is known to test on basics rather than high funda ideas.

Question 23: In a survey it was found that, the number of people that like only Pepsi, only Coke, both Coke and Pepsi and neither of them are 2n, 3n, \\frac{69}{n}\\), \\frac{69}{3n}\\) respectively. What is the no of people who drink coke?
Since the no. of people cannot be in fraction in any situation. We can deduce that the values of n and 3n need to be factors of 69.
Thus the value of n can only be either 1 or 23.
So the no of people who drink coke is equal to 3n + \\frac{69}{n}\\) = 72 for both 1 and 23.
The question is "In a survey it was found that, the number of people that like only Pepsi, only Coke, both Coke and Pepsi and neither of them are 2n, 3n, \\frac{69}{n}\\), \\frac{69}{3n}\\) respectively."
Choice A is the correct answer.
