Math Problem Statement
Students who play only Badminton are 50% of students who play only Football and ratio of students who play only Cricket to students who play only Badminton is 5:2. Students who play all 3 games together are 50% of students who play only Badminton. Students who play both Cricket and Badminton together are equal to students who play both Football and Badminton but not Cricket. Students who play both Cricket and Football but not Badminton are 50% more than students who play all 3 games together. Students who play both Cricket and Football but not Badminton are 50% of students who play both Football and Badminton together
Solution
We can break down this problem step-by-step by assigning variables for the number of students in each group.
Let’s assign:
- : Number of students who play only Football.
- : Number of students who play only Badminton.
- : Number of students who play only Cricket.
- : Number of students who play all three games together.
- : Number of students who play both Badminton and Football but not Cricket.
- : Number of students who play both Badminton and Cricket but not Football.
- : Number of students who play both Football and Cricket but not Badminton.
Now, based on the problem's information, we will derive relationships:
1. Relation between students who play only Badminton and only Football:
"Students who play only Badminton are 50% of students who play only Football." This gives us the equation:
2. Ratio of students who play only Cricket to those who play only Badminton:
"The ratio of students who play only Cricket to students who play only Badminton is 5:2." This gives us the equation:
3. Students who play all three games:
"Students who play all 3 games together are 50% of students who play only Badminton." This gives us:
4. Relation between students playing two games (Cricket + Badminton and Football + Badminton):
"Students who play both Cricket and Badminton together are equal to students who play both Football and Badminton but not Cricket." This gives:
5. Relation involving Cricket and Football:
"Students who play both Cricket and Football but not Badminton are 50% more than students who play all 3 games together." This gives us:
6. Another relation between Cricket + Football and Football + Badminton:
"Students who play both Cricket and Football but not Badminton are 50% of students who play both Football and Badminton together." This gives us:
Now we can use the above relations to solve step by step:
-
From the last equation , we can substitute : Solving for :
-
Since , we have .
Now, let’s summarize the relationships and expressions in terms of :
This system of variables describes the relationships between students playing each game.
