In a sports club with 30 members, 17 play badminton and 19 play tennis and 2 do not play either. How many members play both badminton and tennis? Choose one.
A) 7
B) 8
C) 9
D) 10
E) 11
There are a total of 30 members out of which two do not play either of the two sports... so the number of people of folks which play at least one of the sports mentioned is 28.   Now 17 play badminton and 19 play tennis out of 28.   The way I solved this was:   Badminton: (28 - 17 = 11 People)   Tennis (28 - 19 = 9 People)   Hence, the answer was 9 since it was the smaller number out of the two   ANSWER:9
