প্রশ্ন: One-fourth of the students of a school play cricket and two-third of the rest play football. The remaining 400 students do not play either of the games. How many students are there in the school?
ব্যাখ্যা:
Fraction of students playing cricket = 1/4
Fraction of students playing football = 2/3 of (1 - 1/4) = 2/3 x 3/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
Fraction of remaining students = 1 - (1/4 + 1/2) = 1 - (1 + 2)/4 = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
ATQ, 1/4 of the students = 400
So, total number of students = 400 x 4 = 1600.
