A 900
B 360
C 550
D 1800

Correct Answer: 900

Fraction of students playing football = 1/2 Fraction of students playing cricket = 1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6 Fraction of students not playing either of the games = 1 - (1/2 + 1/6) = 1/3 If 1/3 of total students = 300 Then, number of total students = 300 x 3/1 = 900.
