Hi guyz

Please help me in this question-
A garden has only red, green and yellow flowers, 57% of the flowers have red colour, 35% have green colour and 50% have yellow colour.If no flower has all three colors, what percentage of the flowers has only one colour?

A)32
B)50
C)55
D)58
E)82

OA- D

Please xplain, how?

Let the total no. of flowers is 100 and the no. of flowers having 2 colors is X (red+green OR green+yellow OR red+yellow)

There is no flower that has all 3 colors.

100 = 57+35+50 - X

X= 42.

So no. of flowers having only one color = 100-42
= 58
