In a group of 26 students, 21 like football and 14 like cricket. What is the number of students who like both football and cricket?
Explanation
Total students = 26
Students who like football = 21
Students who like cricket = 14
Let x be the number of students who like both football and cricket.
Using the formula:
(Football ∪ Cricket) = Football + Cricket – Both
So,
26 = 21 + 14 – x
26 = 35 – x
x = 35 – 26
x = 9
