Ans E. Since we are not given how many players do not play each of the games at all.

Or the Ans can be D.

Suppose X be the total number of players who play tennis as well as golf.

Also suppose total number of club members be 100 out of which memebrs who do not play both tennis and golf be 25.

Therefore
Memebers who play both tennis and golf be X
Memebers who play only tennis be 60 - X
Members who play only golf be 75 - X

Therefore the following equation comes
60 - X + 75 - X + X = 100 - 25
135 - X = 75
X = 60%.

With percentages, often it is good to start with
total number of members = 100

If there are 100 members:
75% play golf: 75 play golf
60% play tennis: 60 play tennis

Can there be two sets,
ONLY golf players and
ONLY tennis players?
75 + 65 = 135. No

135 - 100 members =
AT LEAST 35 must play both (see diagram)

But - all 60 tennis players might also play golf.
AT MOST, 60 can play both - see diagram

(Only 75 play golf. The other sport is tennis.
60 play tennis. The group of 60 could be
inside the group of 75. In that case,
60 of the 75 golf players are also tennis players.),

35 of 100: 35% MUST play both
60 of 100: 60% MIGHT (can) play both

There is no way to decide.
Highest percent possible play both?
Lowest percent possible play both?
Some percent in between?
We need more information.

We can let the total number of members = 100 and create the equation:

Total = Golf + Tennis - both + neither

100 = 75 + 80 - both + neither

Since we don’t know “neither,” we see that there is no way to determine “both.”

Never Forget the lazy people who don't want to do anything. No golf No Tennis.

Please don't forget the "none" category in case of 2D venn diagram.
