Explanation:

Let the total No. of days Sonu deposited the earnings in Axis bank be ‘n(a)’ and
that in SBI be ‘n(b)’
Now,
Total no of days he carried on the business = n(a) + n(b) – n(a∩b) + Neither (Days he didn’t earned)
Since on any given day he does not deposit in both the bank accounts
n(a∩b) = 0
Hence,
Total no of days he carried on the business = n(a) + n(b) + Neither (Days he didn’t earned)
Now,
A/Q
Total – n(a) = 20……………………………(1)
Total – n(b) = 24……………………………(2)
n(a) + n(b) = 28………………………………(3)
Solving the 3 equations we get,
n(a) = 16
n(b) = 12
Total = 36
Hence the total number of days he carried on the business = 36
