Question

. In an extra-curricular club with 15 members,7 people played rugby, 6 people played soccer and 4 people neither play rugby nor soccer. How many people played both rugby and soccer?

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following information:

Total member in the club = 15

Rugby = n(R) = 7

Soccer = n(S) = 6

Neither Rugby nor Soccer = 4

Rugby and soccer = n( R ∩ S) = (Unknown)

Total number of club members = n(R) + n(S) - n( R ∩ S) + Neither Rugby nor soccer

15 = 7 + 6 - n( R ∩ S) + 4

15 = 17 - n( R ∩ S)

15 - 17 = - n( R ∩ S)

-2 = - n( R ∩ S)

n( R ∩ S) = 2

Therefore, the number of people that played both rugby and soccer is 2
