Q13. There are 2000 students in a school, out of these 1000 play cricket, 600 play basketball and 5s0play football, 120 play cricket and basketball 80 play basketball and football, 150 plfootball and 45 play all the three games. How many students play(i) none of the three games? t(ii) exactly one of the three games ?iii) at least one game

Answer»

U=2000

Cricket(c)=1000

Basketball(b)=600

Football(f)=550

C nB nF'=120

BnFnC'=80

CnFnB'=150

CnBnF=45

Secondly,put variables in the set of cricket,football and basketball only respectively

A for cricket only;B for basketball only and C for cricket only

a

A+105+75+45=1000

A+225=1000 (use the principle of change of subject then arrive at)

A=775

B+75+45+35=600

B=445

C+105+45+35=550

C=365

Now to find the students who play none of the games, add everything in the set and add another variable(x) to replace the number of students who play none of the games

It becomes A+B+C+x+45+35+75=2000

775+445+365+260+x=2000

1845+x=2000(make x the subject)

x=1845

therefore 1846 students played none of the games

(ii)exactly one=A+B+C

775+445+365=1585

therefore 1585 played exactly one games

(iii)exactly two=105+75+35

=215

therefore 215 played exactly two games
