Answer 1

Solution :-

According to the question,

1/4th people choose basketball, 1/3rd people choose foot ball and 2/5th choose people choose cricket while 3 persons choose tennis

Let the group of people be x

Therefore,

1/4x + 1/3x + 2/5x + 3 = x

15x + 20x + 24x + 180 / 60 = x

15x + 20x + 24x + 180 = 60x

59x + 180 = 60x

-60x + 59x = -180

-x = -180

x = 180

Thus, A group of people contain 180 people

The people like basketball

= 1/4 * 180 = 45

The people like football

= 1/3 * 180 = 60

The people like cricket

= 2/5 * 180 = 72

The people like tennis

= 3

Hence, The total number of people are 180 $.$
