30% of all do not know how to play tennis, so 70% know to play tennis and golf. 90% of 70% is 63%( who play both) and 7% play only tennis and 12% can play only golf. Total amount of players is 82%-7=75% know how to play golf

I used the following formula

Total = G + T + N - B

B - Both tennis and Glof
G - Total Golf
T - Total Tennis
N - Neither

N = 18
30% dont know how to play tennis
so T = 70
Also 90% people who play tennis play golf as well
so B = 63

100 = G + 70 + 18 - 63
G = 75

Anandank,

This is a really old question with the answer already confirmed. Why are you responding to it now?

Hmm,

I am just answering all the questions for practicing. I just thought of mentioning the formula. Many people who dont know this formula will learn it when they hit the question.
