If we plot the given info in a Venn diagram, it would look like this: 

 

 

We will first solve for the number of people who only play cricket. 

 

Since we know the total is 55, we can write an equation: \(c + 13 + 3 + 25 = 55\), meaning \(c =14\)

 

Next, we know that \(b + x + 16 = 35\) and \(f + x + 28 = 53\)

 

But, knowing that there are 90 students in total, we can write the equation \(b + x + f = 90\)

 

Now, just solve for f. Hint: Simplify the equations and substitute 1 into another
