Let U be the universal set, and set C and T represent the sets of people who like coffee and tea respectively. Then, the given situation is represented by the Venn diagram given below.
 Question Image  
Since everyone like at least coffee or tea.
 n(U)=n(CT)=50
Also,given that  n(C)=32
n(only coffee) =n(CT)=15
 n(CT)=n(C)n(CT)=3215=17
But, n(CT)=n(C)+n(T)n(CT)
 50=32+n(T)17
 n(T)=35
Now,n(only tea)  =n(TC)=n(T)n(CT).
 n(TC)=3517=18
