In a school, 30% of students play chess, 60% play carrom and the rest play other games. If the total number of students in the school is 900, find the exact number of students who play each game.

Total number of students = 900

No. of students who play chess = 30% of total no. of students


= 30% x 900



= 270


No. of students who play carrom = 30% of total no. of students


= 60% × 900



= 540


No. of students who play other games = 100%-(60%+30%) of


total students


= 10% x 900



=90
