Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 42 Given: The number of boys in a class is three times the number of girls Calculation: Let number of girls be x and number of boys = 3x. Then, total number of students = 3x + x = 4x Thus, to find exact value of x, the total number of students must be divisible by 4 44, 48, and 52 are divisible by 4, whereas 42 is not divisible by 4 ∴ 42 cannot represent the total number of children in the class |
