In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls
participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2
respectively. The number of girls not participating in the
sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating
in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the
sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class?
(1) Data inadequate
(2) 20
(3) 25
(4) 30
(5) None of these
Answer Posted / ahtesham
No. of boys participating in sports:B=15
therefore no. of girls participating in sports:G
as ratio is 3:2=B:G
3/2=B/G
G=(15*2)/3
G=10
No. of students not participating in sports=60-(15+10)=35
Let x be the no. of girls not participating in sports.
then x + (x-5)=35
x=15
total no. of girls in class=15+10=25
