Question

A college organized a function
in which 1/3rd of boys and 2 7
girls are present. Total number
of student present is ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total student = 40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students are "x"

Then

According to condition

number of boys = 1/3 of x = x / 3

And

number of Girls = total - boys

Putting the values we get

Girls = x - x/3 =3x/3 - x/3 = 2x/3

So the

number of Girls = 2x / 3

And

According to the given condition

number of Girls = 27

So

2x / 3 = 37

2x = 27 × 3 = 81

2x = 81

 x = 81/2 = 40.5 students

Thus

Total student = 40.5

Note since we get the fractional values it is due to data given by you

Checking

boys = 1/3 of 40.5 = 13.5

And

Girl = total - boy = 40.5 - 13.5 = 27
