Answer:
THE NUMBER OF GIRLS IN THE SCHOOL ARE 1200.
Explanation:
given ratio of boys and girls in a school = 5:3
let the no. of boys and girls be 5x and 3x respectively.
Since,
difference between boys and girls = 800
Therefore,
5x - 3x = 800
2x = 800
x = 800/2
x = 400
No. of girls in the school = 3x
= 3×400
= 1200.
