Answer:
let number of boys attend the school be X
hence number of girls attend the school =200-X
Number of boys with blue eyes = 1/3×X
= X/3
Number of girls with blue eyes
= 1/4×(200-X)
= 200-X/4
ATC
(X/3) + (200-X/4) = 57
(4X+600-3X/12) = 57
(X+600/12) = 57
(X+600) = 57×12
X = 684 - 600
X = 84
hence number of boys attend the school
= X = 84
