    The number of boys and girls in a class is 480 and 320,

    respectively. When (x + 40) boys and x girls join, the ratio becomes 3:2. Find the value of ‘x’.
    A 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question,
    (480 + x + 40) / (320 + x) = 3 / 2
    Or, 2(520 + x) = 3(320 + x)
    Or, 1040 + 2x = 960 + 3x
    Or, x = 80
