From the given table below find the total number of players participated in all the events?

Event	Number of Teams	Total players in one team
Cricket	23	11
Handball	15	18
Basketball	48	16

• A. 1041
• B. 1291
• C. 1598
• D. 1823

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1291

Number of participants in cricket:
$$\begin{array}{ccc}\times & 20& 3\\ 10& 200& 30\\ 1& 20& 3\end{array}$$
Total = 200 +30+20+3 = 253
Similarly number of participants in Handball:
$$\begin{array}{ccc}\times & 10& 5\\ 10& 100& 50\\ 8& 80& 40\end{array}$$
Total = 100 +50+80+40 = 270
Number of participants in Basketball:
$$\begin{array}{ccc}\times & 40& 8\\ 10& 400& 80\\ 6& 240& 48\end{array}$$
Total = 400 +80+240+48 = 768

Total players in all the events = 253+270+768 = 1291
