Ok so heres the answer:

If there are 20 blips, every blip is a blop and half of all the blops are blips, there muxst be 40 blips in all. (20x2=40) And if there are 30 bleeps, no bleep is a blip, and half of all bleeps are blops, there must be 15 blops that are bleeps. (30÷2=15) This means 20 blops are blips, 15 blops are bleeps so 5 blops must neither be blips nor bleeps (40- 20-15=5)

Hope ya'll guys get it!!!:)
