14x+5x=1140
19x=1140
x=60
hence the strength of boys and girls are (14*60=840) and (5*60=300)

Answer:
Total students : 1140
Ratio given 14:5
total of given ratio 19
so (14/19) * 1140 =
first multiply 14*1140= 15,960
now divide 15,960/19 = 840
so u get 840 boys
u now have total number students and number of boys.. u now have to find out number of girls
so total number of students - number of boys
1140 - 840= 300
Ans 840 boys and 300 girls
