The ratio of male to female players =11:4

Total parts of the ratio =11+4=15

Number of female players =415×600=160
It is given that, 30% of the female players are participating in Athletics.

Number of female players participating in Athletics

=30100×160

=3×16

=48

Number of female players participating in Athletics =48--(1)

It is given that, 10% of the female players are participating in Tennis.

Number of female players participating in Tennis

=10100×160

=16

Number of female players participating in Tennis =16---(2)

Remaining female players =1604816=96

It is given that, The remaining female players are participating in Kho-Kho and Lawn Tennis in the ratio of 1:3

So, Number of female players participating in Kho-Kho

=14×96

=24

Number of female players participating in Kho-Kho =24--(3)

Total number of female players participating in Athletics and Kho-Kho together

=48+24 [From (1) and (3)]

=72
