Just a couple of things :
Gud should be Good.
vernna diagram should be Venn diagram, I think.
Since the problem describes only men and women, the use of Venn diagrams here is not really useful since they are mutually exclusive, that is, you can't be both a man and a woman at the same time.
These are just straightforward algebra problems.

1.1 M=4W-1940
.
.
1.2 M%2BW=2560
So then substituting,
%284W-1940%29%2BW=2560
5W-1940=2560
5W=+4500
Solve for W then use either equation to solve for M.
