    Solution

    Let students who play only Football be 20x. So, students who play only Badminton = 10x And, students who play only Cricket = 25x Now, students who play all 3 games together = 5x Now, students who play Cricket and Football but not Badminton = 7.5x And, students who play Football and Badminton together = 15x Now, students who play Football and Badminton but not Cricket = 10x Now, students who play both Cricket and Badminton together = 10x So, students who play Cricket and Badminton but not Football = 5x According to question, => 25x + 7.5x + 20x + 5x + 5x + 10x + 10x = 990 => x = 12 Required number of students = 90 + 240 + 60 + 120 = 510
