Answer Posted / ravi teja kantipudi
Total number in class, a=60
total number of boys participating, b=15
ratio of gals to boys participating is 3:2
so total number of gals participating is 10
so total number of boys and gals not participating are 35
total number of boys not participating let say 'x'
total number of gals not participating is 'x+5'
so total number is equal is to 35
=> x+x+5=35
=> 2x=30
=> x=15
so gals not participating are 20
so total number of gals in the class are 30
answer is (4)
