In a class, the number of boys and girls is in the ratio of 4 : 5. If 10 more boys join the class, the ratio of numbers of boys and girls becomes 6 : 5. How many girls are there in the class?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let original number of boys = 4x and number of girls = 5x
According to the question,
\( \Large \frac{4x+10}{5x}=\frac{6}{5} \)
=> 30x = 20x + 50
=> 10x = 50
x=\( \Large \frac{50}{10} \) = 5
Number of girls = 5X = 5x5 = 25
