Moreover, $58$ members can play both football and tennis, $25$ can play both cricket and tennis, while $63$ can play both football and cricket. If every member can play at least one game, then the number of members who can play only tennis is

We can draw the Venn diagram,

Given that,

  • $ n (\text{F} \cup \text{T} \cup \text{C}) = 256 $
  • $ n (\text{F}) = 144 $
  • $ n ( \text{T}) = 123 $
  • $ n ( \text{C}) = 132 $
  • $ n ( \text{F} \cap \text{T}) = 58 $
  • $ n ( \text{T} \cap \text{C}) = 25 $
  • $ n ( \text{F} \cap \text{C}) = 63 $

We know that,

$ n (\text{A} \cup \text{B} \cup \text{C}) = n(\text{A}) + n(\text{B}) + n(\text{C}) – n(\text{A} \cap \text{B}) – n(\text{B} \cap \text{C}) – n(\text{A} \cap \text{C}) + n (\text{A} \cap \text{B} \cap \text{C}) $

Now,

$ n (\text{F} \cup \text{T} \cup \text{C}) = n(\text{F}) + n(\text{T}) + n(\text{C}) – n(\text{F} \cap \text{T}) – n(\text{T} \cap \text{C}) – n(\text{C} \cap \text{F}) + n (\text{F} \cap \text{T} \cap \text{C}) $

$ \Rightarrow 256 = 144 + 123 + 132 – 58 – 25 – 63  + n (\text{F} \cap \text{T} \cap \text{C}) $

$ \Rightarrow n (\text{F} \cap \text{T} \cap \text{C}) = 256 – 253 $

$ \Rightarrow n (\text{F} \cap \text{T} \cap \text{C}) = 3 $

Now, the number of members who can play only tennis $ = n(\text{T})  – n ( \text{F} \cap \text{T}) –  n ( \text{T} \cap \text{C}) – n (\text{F} \cap \text{T} \cap \text{C})$

$\qquad = 123 – 58 – 25 + 3 = 43.$

Correct Answer $: \text{D} $
