Given, number of men is m and number of women is 2.
Since each participants competes two games with each other, Hence count of men Vs men total number of game plays =2mC2.
count of men Vs women total number of game plays =4m.
As per given condition in question,
2mC2=84+4m
⇒m2−5m−84=0
⇒m2−12m+7m−84=0
⇒(m−12)(m+7)=0.
⇒m=12,−7
