Viola,Violin/Neither = 5/9
Now, members playing viola = 7
members playing violin = 28
Total Viola/Violin players = 7 + 28 = 35
Now,
35/Neither = 5/9
Thus, members playing neither = 9*35/5
= 63
Now, members playing viola = 7
members playing violin = 28
Total Viola/Violin players = 7 + 28 = 35
Now,
35/Neither = 5/9
Thus, members playing neither = 9*35/5
= 63
