Given,

Total number of people = 50 lakhs

Percentage of people who like cricket = 60%

Percentage of people who like football = 30%

Since remaining people like other games,

$\therefore$ Percentage of people who like other games = {100 - (60 + 30) } = (100 - 90) = 10%

10% of the people like other games.

Now,

$\therefore$ Number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50 lakhs

$=\frac{60}{100}\times50= 30 lakhs$

$\therefore$ Number of people who like football = 30% of 50 lakhs

$=\frac{30}{100}\times50= 15 lakhs$

$\therefore$ Number of people who like other games = 10% of 50 lakhs

$=\frac{10}{100}\times50 = 5 lakhs$
