Solution:

Finding the value of $x$ : Let the people read news $A$ is $n(A)=63 \%$ the people read news $B$ is $n(B)=76 \%$ the people read both the newspapers $n(A \cap B)=x$ We know that $\max (n(A) \& n(B)) \leq n(A \cup B) \leq 100$ $ \Rightarrow 76 \leq 63+76-x \leq 100 $
$\Rightarrow-63 \leq-x \leq-39 $
$\Rightarrow 63 \geq x \geq 39$
