In the figure, 'b' describes the number of students who participate only in cricket. 'a' describes the number of students who participate both in cricket and squash. 'c' describes the number of students who participate only in squash. The number of students who do not participate in any of the two games = 23 Total students in the batch = 68 Remaining students = 68 - 23 = 45 According to the question; a + b +c = 45 24 + 17 + c = 45 c = 45 - 41 c= 4 The number of students who participate only in squash = 4. |
