Answer 1

Answer:

Let total strenghth=x

No. of boys=2/3 of x=2x/3

No. of girls=17

Now,(2x/3)+17=x

(2x+51)/3=x

2x+51=3x

51=3x-2x

x=51

No. of boys=(2/3)×51=34

So ,the total strenghth is 51 and no. of boys is 34

Answer 2

Let total strength of the class is X.

Then according to question,Boys=2/3of X

Girls=X-2/3 of X i.e.17

so strength of class is 51

boys=34
