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 / satinder
let total no .of girls participating sports =y
no of boys participating in the sports =x=15
participating ratio =3:2
so x/y = 3/2
15/y = 3/2
15*2/3 = y
10 = y
now total no of student participating = x+y = 15+10 = 25
total no of student not participating = 60-25 = 35
let no of boy in class = P
let no of girl in class = P+5
total no of student in class = P+(P+5) = 35
2P = 35-5 = 30
P = 15
NO OF GIRL IN CLASS = P+5 = 15+5 = 20
