  1. a.265
  2. b.200
  3. c.255
  4. d.201

Answer: (A) 265

In the diagram the Hindi circle contains 70 (Hindi only) + 65 (Hindi and Bengali) + 53 (all three) + 47 (Hindi and English) = 235 persons. Those who do not know Hindi are 500 − 235 = 265, which is also the sum of the remaining regions 120 + 62 + 83. 200, 255 and 201 miss one or more of these regions.
