Question

In a school having roll strength 286, the ratio of boys and girls is 8:5. If 22 more girls get admitted into the school, the ratio of boys and girls becomes
A.12:7
B.10:7
C.8:7
D.4:3

Answer 1

10:7 is the best answer to your question. Please make me as a brainalist

Answer 2

let the ratio be x

boys= 8x
girls= 5x

total strength = 286

8x+5x =286
13x = 286
x=286/13
x=22

8x=8×22
=176

5x=5×22
=110

no.of boys=176
no.of girls=110

after adding more 22 girls
=110+22
=132

new no. of girls=132

new ratio of boys to girls is=176:132
= 88:66
=8:6
=4:3

the ratio will be 4:3

option (d) is the correct answer

hope it helps
