    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of boys in class ‘X’ = 100x

    Then, number of girls in class ‘X’ = 0.75 × 100x = 75x

    Number of boys in class ‘Y’ = 0.85 × 100x = 85x

    Total number of students in class ‘Y’ = (100x + 75x) × (130/100) = 227.5x

    Number of girls in class ‘Y’ = 227.5x – 85x = 142.5x

    Required ratio = (75x):(142.5x) = 10:19
