Answer 2

$\huge{\mathcal{\blue{\underline{\underline{\pink{HeYa!!!}}}}}}$

${\huge{\purple{\mathbb{\bold{ANSWER}}}}}$

${\large{\red{\boxed{\bold{Option\:C)\:42.}}}}}$

${\large{\blue{\bold{\underline{Given:-}}}}}$

▪︎ No. of boys is 3 times the girls.

▪︎ Let the number of girls be x.

▪︎ So no. of boys = 3×x = 3x.

${\large{\blue{\bold{\underline{So}}}}}$

▪︎ Total students,

= 3x+x

= 4x

${\large{\blue{\bold{\underline{Therefore, }}}}}$

=》 The number which is not divisible by 4 cannot represent the total children because children's strength in decimal form is not possible.

● So option c) 42,is not possible.
