Answer Posted / s thirumala sai
Let number of boys be b and number girls be g.
boys_players : girl_player = 3:2 ----------> (1)
But, boys_players = 15 -------------------------> (2)
From (10 & (2) ,
3 parts = 15
2 parts = ? Ans:10 [ (15/3)*2 ]
i.e; girl_players = 10
Total players (boys & girls) =15+10=25 (or find directly
for 7 parts)
Total non-players = 60-25=35
Let x be the number of girls who doesn't participated.
Then x + (x-5) = 35 [from the given data]
=> 2x-5=35
=>2x = 40
=> x=20
Total number of girls=playing girls + not playing girls
= 10 + 20
=30
b+g=60 [from the given data]
