Let there be x teams.
No of forwards = \(2x\). max number of teams \(= \frac{23}{2}=11.5\) teams
No of guards= \(3x\). max number of teams \(= \frac{21}{3}=7\) teams
No of goalie = \(1x\). max number of teams \(= \frac{9}{1}=9\) teams
the minimum number of teams = 7 or 42 players.
Total number of player = \(23+21+9=53\).
Total number of unpicked players \(= 11\)
Please share the correct answers. Thanks
