In a sports camp of 84 players, each plays at least one of hockey, football and kabaddi. Hockey-only and football-only players are equal in number (x each). How many play hockey?

Question

Accepted Answer

38. Known parts: 18 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 40, so 2x = 84 - 40 = 44 and x = 22. Hockey circle = 22 + 7 + 5 + 4 = 38. 22 is only hockey-only, 44 is 2x, and 34 forgets the 4 in the centre.
