Answer 2

Answer:

total students 50

Step-by-step explanation:

total students x

half of them went to swim

so, x/2 students were went to swim

3/5th of the remaining were playing cricket

so,x/2*3/5 students were playing cricket

rest of them were preparing food

= (5x-3x)/10

= 2x/10

= x/5

x/5 = 10

x = 50
