    Solution

    From Maharashtra,  Total number of players = 1250 Number of Hockey players = (54/100) × 1250 = 675 Remaining players = 1250 – 675 = 575  Number of Football players = 575 × (12/25) = 276 Number of Cricket players = 575 × (13/25) = 299 Similarly, Total number of players from Kerala = 1400 × (112.5/100) = 1575 Number of Football players from Kerala = 675 × (8/15) = 360 Number of Cricket players from Kerala = 720 Number of Hockey players from Kerala = 1575 – (360 + 720) = 495
