Answer 1

The answer choices are...
a.8
b.10
c.12
d.14
e.16

Answer 2

we have 16 men and 16 women

20 are dog owners, 12 own some other pet

if 8 aren't dog owners, then 8 women own some other pet and 4 men own some other pet to equal 12. we had 16 men that were unknown, but we know 4 of them own some other pet so 16-4 = 12

we said there are 20 dog owners, and we know 8 of them are women, so 20 - 8 = 12
and we still have 12 men remaining, 12 men must be dog owners
