Four members of a school's first eleven cricket team are also members of the first fourteen rugby team. How many boys play for at least one of the two teams?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Cricket has 11 players and rugby has 14.
  2. Adding gives 25, but the 4 boys in both teams are counted twice.
  3. Take them away once: 11+14−4=2111 + 14 - 4 = 21, option B.
