Shriyachoksi9: Let the no. of girls be 5x
No. of boys=7x
According to the question
5x+8=7x
7x-5x=8
2x=8
x=8/2
x=4
No. of girls=5*4=20
no. of boys=7*4 or 5*4+8=28
Hence the total strength of the class is 20+28=48

Hope it helps u.

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

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
