- 3/4 th cant do both
if x is total number 3x/4 cant do .
x - 3x/4 = x/4 = n(AUB) which indicates people who can do either one or both
n(AuB) = n(A) + n(B) -n(A intersection B)
n(A intersection B) = x/5 +x/3 - x/4
= 17x/60
17/60 th of the staff can do both

- 13/60 as 3/4 of staff can neither type nor take shorthand then 1/5 can type and 1/3rd shorthand ;; 3/4 - (1/5 +1/3 ) = 13/60
