{'many children': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cricket': [0, 0, 2, 9], 'children': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'football': [0, 0, 5, 3], 'group': [0, 1, 0, 0]}

To find the number of children who do not like to play cricket or football, we need to find the number of children who dislike both sports.

From the given information, we know that 64 children like to play cricket, 53 children like to play football, and 20 children like to play both cricket and football.

To find the number of children who dislike both sports, we can subtract the number of children who like cricket (64) and the number of children who like football (53) from the total number of children (100):

Total number of children who do not like cricket or football = Total number of children - Number of children who like cricket - Number of children who like football

Total number of children who do not like cricket or football = 100 - 64 - 53

Total number of children who do not like cricket or football = 100 - 117

Total number of children who do not like cricket or football = -17

Since having a negative number of children is not possible, the correct answer is option-1: 3.

Alert - correct answer should be 3.
