    Question

    The number of girls in a class is seven times the number of boys. Which of the following numbers CANNOT represent the total number of children in the class?

    A.

    8

    B.

    52

    C.

    72

    D.

    48

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The number of girls in a class is seven times the number of boys.

    Solution:

    Let, 

    The number of boys = xx

    The number of girls = 7x7x

    Now,

    The total number of students in the class = x+7x=8xx+7x=8x

    The total number of children in the class must be multiples of 8.

    In the given options, Option B - 52 is not a multiple of 8.

    Therefore, the correct option is (B).
