Bheja Fry question

 Question 


In a class of 450 students, 325 play football and 175 play cricket.  50 students neither play football nor cricket.

How many students play both the sports ??



Answer


Class of 450 students.


50 of them don't play any games   !!!


So, total strength reduced to    400 students 


Out of 400 students,


325  play football 

175 play cricket 



We must find out  how many students play both the games  ??


Applying inclusion - exclusion principle,


Number of                  =        Number of                +     Number of

Total students                      students playing            students playing 

                                                   Football                           cricket 


                                                 -      Number of students 

                                                         Playing both 



==>>       400  =   325  +  175  -  x

Where x = number of students playing both the games



==>>        400  =    500  -  x


==>>      x    =      100


Number of students playing both the games  =    100
