  1. Number of people who like cricket = 60%
    Number of people who like football = 30%
    Number of people who like other games = 100% – (60% + 30%) = 10%
    Now Number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50,00,000
    = 60/100 x 50,00,000 = 30,00,000
    And Number of people who like football = 30% of 50,00,000
    = 30/100 x 50,00,000 = 15,00,000
    ∴ Number of people who like other games = 10% of 50,00,000
    = 10/100 x 50,00,000 = 5,00,000
    Hence, number of people who like other games are 5 lakh.
