Given:

White Car

Red Car

Black Car

Blue Car

Each color car is a factor of 36 ⇒ 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

There are twice as many white cars as red cars.

Assume Red cars is X; then White cars is 2X.

The number of blue cars is twice that of black cars.

Assume Black cars is Y; then Blue cars is 2Y.

The number of black cars is the product of two different prime numbers:

2 and 3 are prime numbers; they are also factors of 36. So, black cars is 2 times 3 is 6.

If Black car is 6, then blue cars is 12 (2 * 6).

Red cars is a square number that is not a multiple of 2. 2 and 3 are factors of 36. Square of 3 is 9. It is not a multiple of 2.

If red cars is 9, then white cars is 18 (2*9).

Total number of cars is 45.

White = 18

Red = 9

Black = 6

Blue = 12
