Question - The complete question is -
Out of the total 390 students studying in a college of Arts and Science, boys and girls are in the ratio of 7:6 respectively and the number of students studying Arts and Science are in the ratio of 3:7 respectively. The boys and girls studying Arts are in the ratio of 4:5 respectively. How many boys are studying science ?
Answer : 158 boys are studying in science.
Explanation -
Given :
Total Students = 390
Boys and girls ratio = 7 : 6
Students of Arts and science ratio = 3 : 7
Boys and girls of Arts = 4 : 5
Finding the Number of boys and girls -
Ratio = 7 : 6
Add the given Ratio = 7 + 6 = 13.
Number of Boys = 390 x 7/13 = 210
Number of Girls = 390 - 210 = 180
Finding the Number of Arts and Science students -
Ratio = 3 : 7
Add the given Ratio = 3 + 7 = 10
Number of Arts students = 390 x 3/10 = 117
Number of Science students = 390 - 117 = 273.
Finding the Number of boys studying in science -
Ratio = 4 : 5
Add the given Ratio = 4 + 5 = 9.
Number of boys studying Arts = 117 x 4/9 = 52
Number of boys studying science = 210 - 52 = 158
Hence :
Number of boys studying science = 158.
