SOLUTION
TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION
The number of girls in a class is 11 more than boys. If the students are divided into 3 groups equally, The number of boys in the class
a. 28
b. 31
C. 23
d. 25
EVALUATION
Let number of boys = x
Number of girls = x + 11
Total number of students
= x + x + 11
= 2x + 11
Now the students are divided into 3 groups equally
So 2x + 11 is divisible by 3
If x = 28 then 2x + 11 = 67 which is not divisible by 3
If x = 31 then 2x + 11 = 73 which is not divisible by 3
If x = 23 then 2x + 11 = 57 which is divisible by 3
If x = 25 then 2x + 11 = 61 which is not divisible by 3
Hence the required value of x = 23
FINAL ANSWER
Hence the correct option is c. 23
