Answer 1

Cricket

Explanation:

The number of students playing various games across all classes must be added in order to determine the most popular game.

Football and badminton appear to be very popular based on table cricket. There are unquestionably fewer students playing cricket than chess. The same is true for tennis, basketball, table tennis, and carrom.

Football and badminton may be somewhat similar to cricket.

No.of students playing cricket

= 38 + 40 + 12 + 17 + 25 + 18 + 20

= 78 + 29 + 25 + 38

= 170

No.of students playing football

= 40 + 27 + 18 + 19 + 12 + 16 + 14

= 67 + 37 + 28 + 14

= 146

No. of students playing badminton

= 47 + 39 + 33 + 21 + 19

= 86 + 33 + 40

= 159

Cricket is the most played game as a result.
