Answer: Number of boys is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Number of girls be x

∴ Number of boys = 7x

Now, we are given in the question that there are 36 boys more than girls.

∴7x = x + 36

6x = 36

x = 6

∴Number of girls = 6

∴Number of boys = 7x = 7 X 6 = 42.

Total number of boys is 42.
