Answer:

Let the no. of string players and other players be 2x and 3x respectively.

A.T.Q.

2x + 3x = 40

5x = 40

x = 8

no. of string players = 2x

= 2 (8)

= 16 Ans.

Answer: 16

Explanation:

The ratio is 2:3

Add the numbers- 2+3=5

Divide 40 and 5- 40/5=8

Multiply 8 by the numbers- 2*8=16 string instuments     3*8=24 other players

Check answer- 16+24=40
