What is the ratio of the number of cinema artists who are not proficient in any of these three skills (X0) to those who are proficient in all three (X3) ?

Venn diagram of three circles, Singing, Acting and Dancing. Singing only 70, Acting only 80, Dancing only 125, Singing and Acting only 25, Singing and Dancing only 35, Acting and Dancing only 45, all three 75.

  • A.5 : 7
  • B.6 : 7
  • C.3 : 5
  • D.1 : 9

Answer: C

The ratio X0 : X3 is 3 : 5.

Add every region of the Venn diagram to find how many artists have at least one skill:

\[ \begin{aligned} 70 + 80 + 125 &= 275 \\ 25 + 35 + 45 &= 105 \\ 275 + 105 + 75 &= 455 \end{aligned} \]

So X0 = 500 - 455 = 45 artists have none of the skills, and X3, the centre region, is 75.

\[ 45 : 75 = 3 : 5 \]

The other ratios come from misreading a region: 1 : 9, 5 : 7 and 6 : 7 cannot be formed from 45 and 75.
