b. india and japan
c. pakistan and india
d. china and japan

Option C, Pakistan and India is the right answer.

Cricket and Soccer were the most popular sports in England. Over the course of the time, As Britishers colonized other countries some kind of cultural exchange took place, for example, the introduction of Cricket and Soccer to the colonies. It was part of the legacy of British Imperialism.

Therefore India (which was a former colony of Great Britain) and Pakistan ( part of India before the partition) also saw the spread of the British Sports including Soccer and Football. Although Soccer could not gain much importance as the inhabitants were more comfortable playing barefoot, but Cricket gained notable attention.

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
