Detailed Solution

Let C and A denotes the percentage of people likes cheese and apples respectively. Given, n(C)=63 , n(A)=76  and  n(C∩A)=x.
We know that,
n(C U A) = n(C)+n(A)−n(C∩A)
n(C U A)= 63+76−x
x= 139−n(C U A)

Now, n(C U A) ≤ 100
139−n(C U A) ≥ 139−100=39
x ≥ 39
Also, n(C∩A) ≤ n(C) and n(C∩A) ≤ n(A)
x ≤ 63
39 ≤ x  ≤63.

Hence, The correct answer is option (3).
