52 liked apples (some also like grapes)
6 liked both
52-6 = 46 liked apples only
27 liked grapes (some also like apples)
6 liked both
27-6 = 21 liked grapes only
46 likes apples only
21 likes grapes only
6 like both
46+21+6 = 73 people like either fruit or both
120-73 = 47 people dislike both fruits.
