      Solution

      ATQ,

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

      Then, number of girls in class ‘X’ = 0.60 × 100x = 60x

      Number of boys in class ‘Y’ = 0.80 × 100x = 80x

      Total students in class ‘Y’ = (100x + 60x) × (130/100) = 208x

      Number of girls in class ‘Y’ = 208x – 80x = 128x

      Required ratio = (60x):(128x) = 15:32
