Question

in a school number of boys equal to number of girls if 8 girls leaves and twice as many boys as girls then what is total number of boys and girls
a)32
b)16
c)8
d)12

Answer 1

A classroom contains an equal number of boys and girls.

b = g

:

If 8 girls leave, twice as many boys as girls remain.

b = 2(g-8)

Replace g with b

b = 2(b-8)

b = 2b - 16

16 = 2b - b

b = 16 boys, then 16 girls originally

So option b)
