Let the number of students playing exactly 2 and 3 games be x and y...and $$x\geq{3y}$$..
The formula would give us the equation..
100=50+60+40-x-2y....x+2y=50.......We have added two times twice and three times thrice when we add all three 50+60+40, so we subtract X once and y twice
We are trying to maximize y, so take least value of x, that is 3y..
So 3y+2y=50....y=10
