In the figure given below, the rectangle represents the players of a cricket team, the triangle the players who like to bowl, the circle those who like to bat and the pentagon those who like fielding. Each number is the number of players in that region.
How many players like neither bowling nor fielding?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 64
A player who likes neither bowling nor fielding stands inside the rectangle but outside both the triangle and the pentagon.
Inside the circle only (like batting, not bowling or fielding): 23
Inside the rectangle and outside every other figure (like none of the three): 41
8 is left out, as it lies inside the pentagon (these players like fielding)
Total \(=23+41=64\)
