Answer 2

Answer:

No. of Boys = 45    No. of Girls = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Number of Boys be x

∴ Number of Girls = 1/3 of Boys

= 1/3 of x

= x/3

ATQ,

boys + girls = 60

x + x/3 = 60

3x + x/3 = 60

4x/3 = 60

4x = 60 × 3

4x = 180

x = 180/4

x = 45

No. of Boys = 45

No. of Girls = 13 of 45

= 15
