Explanation

The total number of customers is p (only champak) + q (only marigold) + r (both). Each customer gets one flag. The 'r' customers who bought both are counted once as customers. So total flags = p + q + r.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Customers who bought only champak = p

  2. Step 2: Customers who bought only marigold = q

  3. Step 3: Customers who bought both = r

  4. Step 4: Total customers = p + q + r

  5. Step 5: Each customer gets 1 flag, so total flags = p + q + r
