To start, it's not known how many students play all three games (denoting cricket=C, football=F, hockey=H), and we introduce this as a variable \(x\). Those who play exclusively C&F, F&H and C&H are \(15-x\), football \(12-x\), and hockey \(10-x\) respectively. Solve for \(x\) by setting an equation below

\(33=20+25+18-(15-x+12-x+10-x+2x)\), \(x=7\).

Hence, \(C&F=15-7=8\) and \(C&H=10-7=3\)

The number of students who play only cricket is \(F-C&F-C&H-C&F&H=20-8-3-7=2\).

Answer must be C :)

33=20+25+18−(15−x+12−x+10−x+2x)33=20+25+18−(15−x+12−x+10−x+2x) , x=7
Sir what does 2x in this equation stands for?I always get confused with 3 overlapping sets
Thank you
