Out of those 100 people, 56 people answered yes for dog and 51 people answered yes for cat. Some people may own neither and some people may own both animals.

We are to find the maximum number of people that could answer yes for both cat and dog.

Let A and B represents the set of people that answered Yes for dog and Yes for cat respectively.
