in a town, 85% of the people know english ,40% know kannada , 20% know hindi .
Also 42% of the people know english and kannada, 23% know kannada and hindi ,10% know english and hindi .
Find the percentage of people knowing all the 3 languages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the condition is wrong, and this is WHY.

The percent of the people who know kannada is given as 40% of the entire population.
The percent of the people who knows english and kannada is given as 42% of the population.

The second number CAN NOT be greater than the first one.

Agree?
