Answer 2

Answer:

1000

Total number of boys = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be 'x' . Then,

No. of boys = 5/9 of x = 5x/9

Therefore , no. of girls = x - 5x/9

= 4x/9

But the no. of girls = 800 (given)

Therefore,

4x/9 = 800

x = 800 × 9/4

x = 1800

Thus, total no. of students = 1800.

Hence, total no. of boys = 5 × 1800/9 = 1000

So, total number of boys = 1000
