# In a group of 75 people, 30 like cricket, 20 like both cricket and tennis. How many like tennis only and not cricket? How many like tennis?

Let ‘C’ denote those who like cricket and let ‘T’ denote the people who like tennis.
Then, n(C) = 30.
n(C $\cap$ T) = 20.
The total number of people is given to be 75.
Hence, number of people who like cricket + those who like tennis – those who like both = 75.
(you can also prepare the venn diagram for the same)
Hence, n(C) + n(T) – n(C $\cap$ T) = 75.
30 + n(T) – 20 = 75.
This gives n(T) = 65.
Hence, 65 peolpe like tennis.
Now number of people who like only tennis and not cricket is given by
n(T) – n(C $\cap$ T) = 65 – 20
= 45.

Let us assume that x people like tennis.
Number of people who like cricket = N(C) = 30.
The total number of people = 75.
Hence, using the venn diagram we have,
n(C) + n(T) – n(C $\cap$ T) = 75.
30 + x – 20 = 75.
Hence x = 65.
Those who like only tennis = x – n(C $\cap$ T)
= 65 – 20
= 45.
Thanks & Regards
