This is a question involving Sets. You can solve the same using Venn diagrams. You can refer your book for same. 

A sample venn diagram can be seen here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Venn3tab.svg

The field 111 is the number of people interested in all three. The field "110 & 111" refers number interested in A & B and so on. Fill the diagram and you will get your answer. 

 

___________

Let The prices of commodity be 100.

New prices = 110,120 and 70

Weighted Price = 330, 360 and 70 

Weighted Average Price = (330+360+70)/7 = 108.5

There might be alternative ways of solving the problem. Refer your module for same.
