Consider C as the set of people who like cricket
T as the set of people who like tennis
n(C ∪ T) = 65
n(C) = 40
n(C ∩ T) = 10
It can be written as
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) – n(C ∩ T)
Substituting the values
65 = 40 + n(T) – 10
By further calculation
65 = 30 + n(T)
So we get
n(T) = 65 – 30 = 35
Hence, 35 people like tennis.
We know that,
(T – C) ∪ (T ∩ C) = T
So we get,
(T – C) ∩ (T ∩ C) = Φ
Here
n (T) = n (T – C) + n (T ∩ C)
Substituting the values
35 = n (T – C) + 10
By further calculation
n (T – C) = 35 – 10 = 25
Therefore,
25 people like only tennis.
