The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the minimum number of married couples that can be formed given the restrictions based on nationality. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Groups**: - There are 300 boys and 300 girls. - The distribution of nationality is as follows: - 200 from America - 200 from France - 200 from India 2. **Understand the Marriage Restrictions**: - Boys and girls can only marry within their own nationality. This means: - American boys can only marry American girls. - French boys can only marry French girls. - Indian boys can only marry Indian girls. 3. **Determine the Maximum Couples from Each Nationality**: - For each nationality, we can form couples based on the minimum number of boys and girls available: - **American Couples**: There are 200 American boys and 200 American girls. Therefore, the maximum number of couples is 200. - **French Couples**: There are 200 French boys and 200 French girls. Therefore, the maximum number of couples is 200. - **Indian Couples**: There are 200 Indian boys and 200 Indian girls. Therefore, the maximum number of couples is 200. 4. **Calculate the Minimum Couples**: - Since we need to find the minimum number of couples that can be formed, we should consider the distribution of boys and girls in each nationality. - To minimize the number of couples, we can assume that the boys and girls are evenly distributed: - If we take 100 boys and 100 girls from each nationality, we can form: - 100 American couples - 100 French couples - 100 Indian couples 5. **Total Minimum Couples**: - Adding these together gives us: - 100 (American) + 100 (French) + 100 (Indian) = 300 couples. Thus, the minimum number of married couples that will be formed is **300**.
