Answer 2

a. Maria - 5, Keisha - 8, Leah - 13, Jo - 36

Explanation:

Maria, Keisha, Jo, and Leah wear jerseys numbered 5, 8, 13, and 36, but not necessarily in that order.

Jo’s jersey number is divisible by 6.

36 is divisible by 6

So, Jo’s jersey number is 36.

The girl wearing 8 has a better jump shot than Maria or Leah and Jo is wearing number 36

So, Keisha must be wearing number 8 .

Now we are supposed to find the jersey number of Maria and Leah

Now we are given that The number of letters in one name is the same as her number.

Then number of letters in Maria = 5 and Leah = 4

So, according to the number of letters in one name is the same as her number.

Maria must be wearing number 5 jersey

So, Leah must be wearing the remaining number i.e. 13

Hence ,

Name Jersey number

Jo 36

Leah 13

Maria 5

Keisha 8

Thus Option A is correct.
