Question

45. In a school, ⅗of the children are boys and the number of girls is 800. The number of boys is

(A) 800

(B)1000

(C)1200

(D) 2000​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Total Students = x

Number of boys = 3/5 of x = 3x/5

Number of girls = 800

According to question

3x/5 + 800 = x

( 3x + 4000 ) / 5 = x

3x + 4000 = 5x

4000 = 5x - 3x

4000 = 2x

2000 = x

So option (d) is correct
