Number of candidates who had none of the three = Total number of candidates - number of candidates who had at least one of three devices.

Total number of candidates = 200.

Number of candidates who had at least one of the three = n(A $$cup$ B $\cup$ C) Where A is the set of those who have a two wheeler, B is the set of those who have a credit card and C is the set of those who have a mobile phone. n$A $$cup$ B $\cup$ C) = n$A) + n(B) + n(C) - {n(A $$cap$ B) + n$B $$cap$ C) + n$C $$cap$ A)} + n$A $$cap$ B $\cap$ C) Therefore, n$A $$cup$ B $\cup$ C) = 100 + 70 + 140 - {40 + 30 + 60} + 10 Or n$A $$cup$ B $\cup$ C) = 190. As 190 candidates who attended the interview had at least one of the three gadgets,$200 - 190 = 10) candidates had none of three.

Choice C is the correct answer.
