The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total number of matches played between the boys and girls of Team A and Team B, and set that equal to 52. 1. **Identify the number of boys and girls in each team:** - Team A has 7 boys and \( n \) girls. - Team B has 4 boys and 6 girls. 2. **Calculate the matches played by boys:** Each boy from Team A plays one match with each boy from Team B. - Number of matches played by boys = Number of boys in Team A × Number of boys in Team B - This is calculated as: \[ \text{Matches by boys} = 7 \times 4 = 28 \] 3. **Calculate the matches played by girls:** Each girl from Team A plays one match with each girl from Team B. - Number of matches played by girls = Number of girls in Team A × Number of girls in Team B - This is calculated as: \[ \text{Matches by girls} = n \times 6 \] 4. **Set up the equation for total matches:** The total number of matches is the sum of matches played by boys and girls, which is given as 52. - Therefore, we can write: \[ 28 + 6n = 52 \] 5. **Solve for \( n \):** - First, isolate \( 6n \): \[ 6n = 52 - 28 \] \[ 6n = 24 \] - Now, divide both sides by 6: \[ n = \frac{24}{6} = 4 \] Thus, the value of \( n \) is **4**.
