Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

273 students responded to a survey asking whether a Bulldog, a Lion, or a Tiger should be a new school mascot.

Let t students chose tiger

b students chose bulldog

and l students chose lion

then, t+b+l=273

Four times as many students chose Bulldog as chose Tiger.

i.e. b=4t

Twice as many students chose Lion as chose Tiger.

i.e. l=2t

So, t+4t+2t=273

i.e. 7t=273

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

t=39

Number of students who chose lion=2t

                                                           = 2×39

                                                           = 78

Hence, Correct option is:

B) 78 students
