Solution

A quarter of the students play cricket, implies that three quarters of the students play football.

We are given that 15 students play football, so three quarters of the total strength of class is 15.
Three one quarters make a three quarter.
So, one quarter of the total strength = 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
Hence, 5 students play cricket.
