Detailed Solution

Total percentage of people in the city = 100%
Number of people like cricket = 60%
Number of people like football = 30%
percentage of people who like other games = 100%-(60%+30%)
                                                                      = 100%-90% = 10%
Total number of people in the city = 50 Lakh = 5000000
Number of people like cricket = 60% = 60 5000000100
                                                         = 3000000 = 30 Lakh
Number of people like football = 30% = 30 5000000100
                                                         = 1500000 = 15 Lakh
Number of people who like other games = 10 5000000100
                                                                     = 500000 = 5 Lakh
Therefore, the percentage of people who like other games = 10% and number of people who like other games = 500000 = 5 Lakh.
