Answer:

C. 16

Read Explanation:

Solution:

In a class of 75 students.

19 students do not participate in any of the two sports.

  • Students who participate in any of the two sports or both the sports = 75 - 19 = 56

12 students participate in both Cricket and Hockey.

40 students participate in Cricket.

  • Students who participate only in Cricket = 40 - 12 = 28

28 students participate in Hockey

  • Students who participate only in Hockey = 28 - 12 = 16

Clearly, 16 students participate only in Hockey.

Hence, '16' is the correct answer.
