The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many students like to play all three games: cricket, football, and tennis. We will use the principle of inclusion-exclusion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Sets:** - Let \( A \) be the set of students who like cricket. - Let \( B \) be the set of students who like football. - Let \( C \) be the set of students who like tennis. From the problem, we have: - \( |A| = 125 \) - \( |B| = 145 \) - \( |C| = 90 \) 2. **Total Students:** - The total number of students surveyed is \( 300 \). 3. **Using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle:** - According to the principle, the total number of students can be expressed as: \[ |A \cup B \cup C| = |A| + |B| + |C| - |A \cap B| - |B \cap C| - |A \cap C| + |A \cap B \cap C| \] - We know that \( |A \cup B \cup C| = 300 \). 4. **Substituting Known Values:** - We also know that \( 32 \) students like exactly two games. This means: \[ |A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C| - 3|A \cap B \cap C| = 32 \] - Let \( x = |A \cap B \cap C| \) (the number of students who like all three games). 5. **Setting Up the Equations:** - From the inclusion-exclusion principle: \[ 300 = 125 + 145 + 90 - (|A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C|) + x \] - This simplifies to: \[ 300 = 360 - (|A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C|) + x \] - Rearranging gives: \[ |A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C| = 60 + x \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 6. **Using the Second Equation:** - From the second equation about students liking exactly two games: \[ |A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C| - 3x = 32 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 7. **Substituting Equation 1 into Equation 2:** - Substitute \( |A \cap B| + |B \cap C| + |A \cap C| \) from Equation 1 into Equation 2: \[ (60 + x) - 3x = 32 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 60 - 2x = 32 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = 60 - 32 = 28 \] - Thus, we find: \[ x = 14 \] 8. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the number of students who like all three games is \( 14 \). ### Final Answer: The number of students who like to play all three games is **14**.
