Question

There are 100 students in a particular class. 60% students play cricket, 30% student play football and 10% student play both the games. What is the number of students who play neither cricket nor football?

Accepted Answer

Here's a brief explanation:

Total students = 100.

Students playing Cricket = 60% of 100 = 60.
Students playing Football = 30% of 100 = 30.
Students playing Both games = 10% of 100 = 10.

To find the number of students who play at least one game, we use the formula:
Students (Cricket OR Football) = Students (Cricket) + Students (Football) - Students (Both)
Students (Cricket OR Football) = 60 + 30 - 10
Students (Cricket OR Football) = 90 - 10 = 80.

These 80 students play either cricket, or football, or both.

The number of students who play neither game is:
Total Students - Students (Cricket OR Football)
100 - 80 = 20.

Therefore, 20 students play neither cricket nor football.

Option A (25) is incorrect.
Option B (20) is correct.
Option C (18) is incorrect.
Option D (15) is incorrect.

The final answer is 20.
