Answer 1

Answer:

D. 8

Correct Answer: Option D (8)

Solution & Explanation:

• To find the total number of players, let's identify each player by their T-shirt colour:

Players mentioned in the question:

T-shirt Colour	Number of Players
Red	2
Yellow	3
Saffron	1
White	1
Green	1
Total	8

Step-by-step Analysis:

1. Red T-shirt players → Exactly 2 players are wearing red T-shirts.

2. Yellow T-shirt players → Exactly 3 players are wearing yellow T-shirts.

3. Saffron T-shirt player → The red T-shirt player passed the ball to the only individual wearing saffron — so 1 saffron player.

4. White T-shirt player → The person wearing white tackled the saffron player — so 1 white player.

5. Green T-shirt player → The white player passed the ball to the green T-shirt player — so 1 green player.

6. The question clearly states "No other individual is playing on the ground" — meaning no additional players exist.

Final Count:
2 (Red) + 3 (Yellow) + 1 (Saffron) + 1 (White) + 1 (Green) = 8 Players

Key Fact: In such logical reasoning questions, carefully note keywords like "only," "exactly," and "no other" — these words restrict the count and help determine the precise number.
