Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio 7:5
So multiplying 8 with 7 we get 56 so it is the total no of boys

Let the number of boys be 7x and girls be 5x.
According to the question,
7x = 5x + 8
⇒ 7x – 5x = 8
⇒ 2x = 8
⇒ x = 8/2
⇒ x = 4
Therefore, Number of boys = 7×4 = 28
And, Number of girls = 5×4 = 20
Total number of students = 20+28 = 48
