      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let 'm' be the number of boys and 'f' be the number of girls. Given: m + f = 160 (total childrens). 7m + 12f = 1240 (Candies distributed). From m + f = 160, solve for m: m = 160 βˆ’ f. Substitute m = 160 βˆ’ f into 7m + 12f = 1240: 7(160 βˆ’ f) + 12f = 1240. Simplifying gives: 1120 βˆ’ 7f + 12f = 1240 β‡’ 5f = 120 β‡’ f = 24. Thus, there are 24 girls and 136 boys.
