This problem is interesting, but the level of description does not allow to interpret (to treat) the condition by an unique way.

For example, this fragment "40 are both musicians and singers" makes it unclear: 40 of whom ??

Again, the problems like this one MUST be formulated with the CRYSTAL CLARITY.

The condition should not leave a room for questions.
