the boys is 16 years and that of the girls is 12 years. If the average age of the school is 14 years 9 months. Then the number of girls in the school is.Solution
Let the number of Boys be ‘x’ Sum of ages of boys = x x 16 Sum of ages of girls = (400 - x ) x 12 According to question, x × 16 + (400 - x) × 12 = 400 × `14 (3/4)` 16x + 4800 - 12x = 400 × `59/4` 4x + 4800 = 5900 4x = 1100 x = 275 Number of girls = 400 - 275 = 125
