Let the number of boys be 7x and that of girls be 5x.
According to the given condition, we have
Number of boys = Number of girls +8
⇒7x=5x+8
⇒7x−5x=8 ....[Transposing 5x to LHS]
⇒2x=8
Therefore, number of boys =7×4=28 and number of girls =5×4=20
So, total number of children in the class =28+20=48.
Hence, the class strength is 48.

Explanation:
Given
- The number of boys and girls in a class in ratio 7:5
- The Number of boys is 8.
- more than the number of girls.
Find
- total number of student.
explanation
Let us,
- Number of boy=X
- Number of Girl=Y
Hence
⟹X:Y=7:5
⟹X/Y=7/5
⟹5X-7Y=0___________(1)
Again,
⟹X=8+Y
⟹X-Y=8_____________(2)
Multiply by 5in equ (2)
⟹5X-5Y=40_____________(3)
Subtract equ (1)&equ(3)
⟹-7Y+5Y=-40
⟹-2Y=40
⟹Y=32/3
⟹Y=20
in equ (1)
⟹5X-7×20=0
⟹5X=140
⟹X=140/5
⟹X=20
Hence
- Total Number of Studants in Class ,
- (28+20)=48
