Question -

The number of boys and girls in a class are in the ratio 7:5. The number of boys is 8 more than the number of girls. What is the total class strength?



Answer -

Let the number of boys be 7x and girls be 5x.
According to the question,
7x = 5x + 8
тЗТ 7x тАУ 5x = 8
тЗТ 2x = 8
тЗТ x = 8/2
тЗТ x = 4
Therefore, Number of boys = 7├Ч4 = 28
And, Number of girls = 5├Ч4 = 20
Total number of students = 20+28 = 48
