There are 9 members of the sales team who do not speak Arabic. There are 7 members of staff who speak Arabic and are employed in sales. Therefore, there are 2 members of the sales team who speak Arabic. This means that there are 14 - 7 - 2 = 5 members of staff who speak Arabic but do not work in sales. There are 24 - 14 = 10 members of staff who do not speak Arabic. Therefore, there are 10 - 5 = 5 members of staff who neither speak Arabic nor work in sales.
