Representing the given information in the Venn diagrams, we have Let the number of people who play only hockey = a The number of people who play only football = b Now, a = n(H) - 10 = 15 - 10 = 5 b = n(F) - 10 = 17 - 10 = 7 Clearly, a + b + 10 + n = 25 ⇒ n = 25 - 7 - 5 -10 ⇒ n = 3 ∴ The number of people who do not play neither Hockey nor Football is 3.
