Answer: Option A; 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

We have 40 students.

16 play football

9 play basketball

4 play bot sports.

We want to find the number of students that do not play either sport, for this we should add the number of students that play football and the number of students that play basketball, subtracting the number of students that play both sports (because we sill be counting those two times, this is because those 4 students are included in the 16 for football and also in the 9 for basketball.)

N = 16 + 9 - 4 = 12 + 9 = 21

the number of students that do not play basket or football is equal to:

40 - N = 40 - 21 = 19

The correct option is A
