1 answer

We are given that there are 350 male athletes in total, 250 of whom play basketball. We are also given that 120 of the male athletes play both sports.

To find the number of males who play baseball, we can subtract the number of males who play both sports from the total number of males who play basketball.

So, the number of males who play only basketball is 250 - 120 = 130.

Since some males play only basketball, some play only baseball, and some play both, the number of males who play baseball is 350 - 130 = 220.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 220.
