In a class of 20 students,12 play table tennis,13 play cricket ball and 3 are not allowed to play either of the two games. 1)how many students play both table tennis and cricket ball? 2)how many students play cricket ball only?



Answer :

(1) Number of students who play both table tennis and cricket ball is 5

(2)  number of students play cricket ball only is 8.

Let,  'A' be the set of students who play cricket,

Let,  'B' be the set of students who play tennis.

It is given that,

Number of students who play cricket = n(A) = 13

Number of students who play tennis = n(B) = 12

Total Number of students in a class = n(A∪B) = 20

n(A∩B)= Number of students who play both the games.

(1)  Number of students who play both the games can be calculated using  the following formula;

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

20 = 13 + 12 - n(A∩B)

n(A∩B) = 13 + 12 - 20 = 5

5 students who play both the games.

(2)   Number of students that play cricket ball only = n(A) - 5 = 13 -5 = 8

So, 8 number of students play cricket ball only.
