Answer

Per cent of the people who like other games = (100 – (60 + 30))%

= 10%

Now, number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50 lakh

Number of people who like cricket = (60/100) × 50 = 30 lakh

Number of people who like football = 30% of 50

Number of people who like football = (30/100) × 50 = 15

∴ Remaining people who like other games = 50 – 45 = 5 lakh.
