x=12

no.of children playing

tennis=12/3

= 4

hope it helps you dear

Answer 2

Hey mate, here is your answer

Tennis playing children=X/3

Soft ball playing children=X/2

Remaining children who playcricket=x-x/3-x/2

Equation according to the question X-X/3-X/2=6

6(X-X/3-X/2)=6*6 6X-2X-3X=36 6X-5X=36

X=total children=36 Tennis playing=1/3 of 36=12

Soft ball playing=1/2of36=18 Remaining=36 – 12 - 18 =36 - 30 =6 cricket playing

So,12 children among all are

Tennis playing
