HelloScottTargetTestPrep ,
In these kind of questions, How can we determine whether the question is talking about exactly two or at least two?

In this question, "15 play both cricket and football" implies that 15 individuals play both sports, but they might also participate in other sports. If the statement were "15 play exactly two sports: cricket and football," it would mean that these 15 individuals play only those two sports and no other. Therefore, without additional restrictions, if some individuals are grouped into two categories, it does not necessarily exclude them from being part of other categories.
