20 people did not like any of three flavour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V represents the number of people who like vanilla, S represent the number of people who like strawberry and C represents the number of people who like chocolate,

Given,

Total number of people = 100,

n (V) = 55, n (C) = 30, n (S) = 40, n (V∩C) = 15, n (C∩S) = 10, n (V∩S) = 10

n (V∩S∩C) = 5,

Thus, the number of people who only like only vanilla = n (V) - n (V∩C) - n (V∩S) - n (V∩S∩C)

= 55 - 15 - 10 - 5 = 55 - 30 = 25,

Similarly, the number of people who like only chocolate = 0,

The number of people who like only strawberry = 15,

Hence, the number of people who do not like any flavor

= Total number of people - people who only like vanilla - people who only like chocolate - people who only like strawberry - n (V∩C) - n (C∩S) - n (V∩S) - n (V∩S∩C)

= 100 - 25 - 0 - 15 - 15 - 10 - 10 - 5

= 100 - 80

= 20
