Answer» Answer: Let number of girls who do not wear a watch = X, where x is any natural number. Number of girls who wear a watch =2 x ⇒Total number of Girls in the class= x + 2 x= 3 x Number of Boys who wear the watch = y,where y is any natural number. Number of Boys who do not wear the watch = 2 y ⇒Total number of Boys in the class=y +2 y=3 y It is also given that ,⇒ Total number of Girls = 2 × Total number of Boys → 3 x = 2 × 3 y → x= 2 y---------(1) Total number of students in the class = 3 x + 3 y =3 × 2 y+3 y-------(Using 1) = 6 y +3 y = 9 y, So, the number of students i teach will be multiple of 9. Which can be =9,18,27,36,45,....
