25 persons are in a room. 15 of them play hockey, 17 of them play football and 10 of them play both hockey and football. Then the number of persons playing neither hockey nor football is:
- ((a))
2
- ((b))
17
- ((c))
13
- ((d))
3
Show Answer
3
Given:
Total number of people in the room = 25
Number of people who play Hockey = 15
Number of people who play Football = 17
Number of people who play both = 10
Calculation:
Number of people who play only Hockey = 15 - 10 = 5
Number of people who play only Football = 17 - 10 = 7
⇒

⇒ The total number of person who play either of the two = 5 + 10 + 7 = 22
⇒ The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 25 - 22 = 3
∴ The required result will be 3.

The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = ξ - n(A ⋃ B) - n(A) - n(B)
The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 25 - 10 - 7 - 5
The number of persons playing neither hockey nor football = 3
