Question

There are 30 players in a cricket match. If 3 teams have 9 players each, how many more players are needed to form one more team?

• A. 39
• B. 9
• C. 6
• D. 21

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6

There are a total of 30 players and 3 teams. Each team has 9 players.

So,
team 1 --> 30 − 9 = 21
team 2 --> 21 − 9 = 12
team 3 --> 12 − 9 = 3

After filling up three teams completely, 3 players are still remaining.

Therefore,
The number of more players needed to form another team is 9 − 3 = 6
