Question

In a school out of 400 students , 220 students like playing cricket , 200 like
playing football and 20 students neither like playing cricket nor football .
(i) How many like cricket or football?
(ii) How many like cricket and football?
(iii) How many like cricket only?

Answer 1

130 play neither cricket nor football.

BREAKDOWN:

• Since there are students who do both sports, we subtract 60 from both sports. (70–60 = 10 and 120–60 = 60)
• Next we add them (10+60 = 70) to find out how many play sports.
• Lastly, we subtract 70 from 200 to get the answer 130.
