Question

10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4
more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in
the quiz
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of boys = 3

Number of girls = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys be = x

Let the number of girls be = x+4

Total number of students in the class = 10 students

Therefore, x+x+4 = 10

2x+4 = 10

2x = 10-4

2x = 6

x = 6/2

Therefore, x = 3
