Question

A class has the same number of girls and boys.Only 8 boys were absent on particular day and then the number of girls was double the number of boys. What is the number of boys and girls?

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of boys = 16

No. of girls = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of boys and girls be x

A/q, 8 boys are absent

therefore no. of boys present = x–8

Since no. of girls is twice the no. of boys present on that day

so,

x = 2( x – 8 )

x = 2x – 16

x – 2x = 16

x = 16

Hence no. of boys is 16 and girls is 16 .
