  • Question
  • A class consists of both boys and girls along with a teacher. After a class, the teacher drinks 9 litres of water, a boy drinks 7 litres of water and a girl drinks 4 litres of water. If after a class 42 litres of water was consumed, find the number of girls in the class ?


  • Options
  • A. 8
  • B. 6
  • C. 5
  • D. 3

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Given teacher drinks 9 ltr
    Let number of boys be 'A'.
    Let number of girls be 'B'.
    Boy drinks 7 ltr and girl drinks 4 ltr
    After class total water consumed = 42 ltr
    Then,
    9 + 7A + 4B = 42
    => 7A + 4B = 33
    By trial and error method,
    The only integers which satisfy the equation is A = 3 and B = 3
    Therefore, number of girls in the class = 3.
