From the figure:

x + y + w + 25 = 0.45 × 400 = 180

x + z + w + 45 = 0.575 × 400 = 230

y + z + w + 110 = 0.725 × 400 = 290

And

x + y + z + w + 25 + 45 + 110 = 400

⇒ x + y + z + w = 220

Solving all 4 equations:

⇒ x = 40, y = 35, z = 65 & w = 80

Number of players who played in both 1st WC and 2nd WC but not in 3rd WC = x = 40
