Correct Answer: 13


Solution : Given:
Total number of students = 50
Number of students who play hockey = 25
Number of students who play football = 30
Number of students who play neither sport = 8

Let the number of students that participate in both football and hockey = a.
⇒ 50 = 25 + 30 – a + 8
⇒ 50 = 55 – a + 8
⇒ a = 55 + 8 – 50
⇒ a = 63 – 50 = 13

So, 13 students play both football and hockey. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
