Solution

The correct option is D

4


Explanation for the correct option:

Find the number of girls in the team A:

Number of single matches that can arranged between Team A and Team B boys =7×4

=28

Number of single matches that can arranged between Team A and Team B girls =n×6

=6n

Therefore, the total number of single matches arranged between two teams when a boy plays against a boy and a girl plays against a girls =28+6n

28+6n=526n=24n=4

Therefore, the number of girls in the Team A=4

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
