Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of boys be x. So number of girls will be x too.

Number of boys on the day where 8 boys were absent = x - 8

A/q 2(x - 8) + x - 8 = 2x

=> 2x - 16 + x - 8 = 2x

=>3x - 24 = 2x

=> 3x - 2x = 24

=> x = 24

I added the number of boys and girls with the help of the equation on the number of boys present, then equated it with the strength of class. You can check the answer by putting the values.

There number of boys is 24 and number of girls is 24.

Hope this helps....
