Assuming that there are 100 persons
first take newspaper A and B, 82+78=160%, so min of 60 people should read both A and B(otherwise it would exceed 100)..now taking the intersection of the set of 60(who read both A and B) with newspaper C (76%) and applying the same logic we get a set of 36 people..again 36 with newspaper D(72%)..we get the ans as 8..
(hope it is clear, it can be explained in a much better way using Venn diagram)
