Let R be the set of families having a radio and T be the set of families having a T.V., 

then nRT= The number of families having at least one of the radio and T.V. = 1003 - 63 = 940 

n(R)=794 and n(T)=187

Let x families have both a radio and a T.V. Then number of families who have only radio = 794 - x 

And the number of families who have only T.V. = 187 - x 

 From Venn diagram, 794x+x187x=940

Hence, the required number of families having both a radio and a T.V. =41
