The number of boys and girls are 50 and 30.

Given - Ratio of girls and boys

Find - Number of boys and girls

Solution - Let the number of girls and boys be 5x and 3x.

Difference = 5x - 3x

Difference = 2x

As per the question, 2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Number of boys = 5x

Number of boys = 5*10

Number of girls = 3x

Number of girls = 3*10

Number of girls = 30

Hence, the number of girls and boys are 30 and 50.
