Let the number of boys be x
and the number of girls be 3x
According to the question,
Hence, the number of girls is 900.
Therefore, the number of boys => 3x = 3 × 900 = 2700
Verification:-
Putting the value of x
Therefore, L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, Proved.
Total number of students in the school = 3600
The number of boys and girls in the school.
Let the number of boys in the school = 3x
and, the number of girls in the school = x
According to the question,

Now,
Putting the values of x for finding the number of boys in the school.
