only arms and legs are counted as limbs.

Follow the explanation together with the pic so things make more sense.

I saw this method on gmat prep club when working with overlapping set questions.
You use a bar graph from 0 to 100 percent.

Then you fill up the space always trying to avoid overlap as much as possible.

First group of 85% we covered 0 to 85

Second group of 80% we covered from 100 to 20 --> at this point we have an overlap of 65% (20 to 85)

Third group of 75% we covered 0 to 20, then 85 to 100, and we are left with a total of 40 (from 20 to 60) that we must overlap with the other two groups ---> three-way overlap of 40%

Fourth group of 70% we cover 0 to 20, 60 to 100, and then a remainder of 10% that we must include in the overlap of all 4 categories.

So minimum intersection of all 4 groups is 10%

Final Answer: C

To find the minimum value of
�
x (percentage of soldiers who lost all four limbs), we need to consider the worst-case overlap of these injuries. The maximum percentage of soldiers who could have avoided losing all four limbs is the sum of the smallest percentages of soldiers who did not lose each limb:

30% did not lose an eye (100% - 70%)
20% did not lose an ear (100% - 80%)
25% did not lose an arm (100% - 75%)
15% did not lose a leg (100% - 85%)
If we assume these groups are entirely distinct (which gives the minimum overlap), then the maximum percentage of soldiers who did not lose all four limbs is the sum of these percentages:

30
%
+
20
%
+
25

+
15

=
90
%
30%+20%+25%+15%=90%

Therefore, at least 10% of the soldiers must have lost all four limbs to account for all possibilities. This gives us the minimum value of
�
x.

Carcass, can you please suggest how I can filter for problems of this type in the question bank?

When you see a question and you want similar ones just see the argument tag above the question itself

In this case just click the tag overlapping sets

What kind of stupid question is this? 4 limbs = 2 legs + 2 arms.

This is why we avoid non-official questions.

Why the question is stupid ?

It was released by Karun which is a very skilled GMAT/GRE tutor and the question is quite good

If you think it does not deserve your level of preparation, simply skip it.
