Half of the remaining students received training for badminton. What percentage of students did NOT receive training in any of the three games?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 33.54%.

Understanding

14% of the total received cricket training.

Remaining students = 100 - 14 = 86%

22% of the remaining students received training for hockey.

% of students who received hockey training = (22 ÷ 100) × 86 =  18.92

Remaining students = 86 - 18.92 = 67.08%

Half of the remaining students received training for badminton.

Remaining students = 67.08 ÷ 2 = 33.54%

The percentage of students who did NOT receive training in any of the three games = 

100 - (14 + 18.92 + 33.54) = 100 - 66.46 = 33.54%

Hence, Option 3 is the correct answer.
