In a class of 60 students, 25 students play cricket and 20 students play tennis and 10 students play both the games. Then the number of students who play neither is

(a) 0

(b) 25

(c) 35

(d) 45

Solution

Let

\[ n(C)=25 \]

\[ n(T)=20 \]

\[ n(C\cap T)=10 \]

Using the formula,

\[ n(C\cup T)=n(C)+n(T)-n(C\cap T) \]

\[ =25+20-10 \]

\[ =35 \]

Therefore, number of students who play neither:

\[ 60-35 \]

\[ =25 \]

Answer

\[ \boxed{25} \]

Correct option: (b)
