      C 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of boys and girls be x and (100 - x) respectively. According to the question,┬а Mean = {50x + 40(100 - x)}/100 тЗТ 46 = {50x + 40(100 - x)}/100 тЗТ 4600 = 50x + 4000 - 40x тЗТ 4600 - 4000 = 10x тЗТ x = 600/10 тЗТ x = 60 So, the number of boys is 60. Number of girls = 100 тАУ x = 40 Required difference = 60 тАУ 40 = 20
