The number of boys in a class is three times the number of girls. Which one of the following numbers cannot represent the total number of children in the class ?1. 422. 443. 484. 52

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
