Let A denote persons with black hair
B denoted persons who have whole row to themselves.
So,
n(AUB) = 28
n(A) = 25
n(B) = 7
Use:
n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A^B)
28 = 25 + 7 - n(A^B)
n(A^B) = 32 - 28
= 4
So, 4 people have both black hair and whole row

Livy, “Hannibal Crosses the Alps,” from “The Histories,” Written about...
