Question
Number of girls in class ‘P’ is 60% of number of boys
in that class. Class ‘Q’ has 20% fewer boys than in class ‘P’ and 40% more total students than class ‘P’. Find the ratio of number of girls in class ‘P’ to that in class ‘Q’.Solution
ATQ,
Let the number of boys in class ‘P’ = 100x
Then, number of girls in class ‘P’ = 0.60 × 100x = 60x
Number of boys in class ‘Q’ = 0.80 × 100x = 80x
Total number of students in class ‘Q’ = (100x + 60x) × (140/100) = 224x
Number of girls in class ‘Q’ = 224x – 80x = 144x
Required ratio = (60x):(144x) = 5:12
