Correct Answer
B. 48Explanation
The correct answer is 48. In the Mixed Doubles event at Wimbledon, each pair consists of one male and one female player. Therefore, the total number of pairs that can enter the tournament would depend on the number of male and female players available. If there are 24 male players and 24 female players, then there can be 24 pairs. However, if there are more than 24 male or female players, then the number of pairs would be limited by the smaller group. Since 48 is the only option that is less than 64 (the total number of players in the tournament) and greater than 24, it is the correct answer.Rate this question:
