    Solution

    Let the number of boys in first class = 100x Then, the number of boys in second class = 125x the number of boys in third class = 18 total number of boys in all three classes = 100x + 125x + 18 = 225x + 18 according to the question- (225x+18)/3 = 192/3 +8 (225x+18)/3 = 64 +8 = 72 225x+18 = 216 x = 198/225 highest number of boys are in second class = 125x 125x = 198/225 × 125 = 110 highest number of boys in class = 110
