1. Half of the students of a school play football and one third of the rest play cricket. The remaining 300 students do not play either of the games. How many students are there in the school?
- A. 360
- B. 360
- C. 360
- D. 360
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Fraction of students playing Football = 1/2
Fraction of students playing Cricket = 1/3 of the remaining 1/2 = 1/6
Now, fraction of the students not playing either of the games = 1 - (1/2 + 1/6) = 1 - (3 + 1)/6 = 1/3
According to the question, 1/3 of the students = 300
So, the number of total students = 300 x 3 = 900.
