Correct answer: A. 100
Explanation
Let the number of girls be g, so boys = 400 − g. Then 0.60(400 − g) + 0.80g = 0.65 × 400 = 260. That is 240 + 0.20g = 260, so 0.20g = 20 and g = 100 girls (with 300 boys).मान लीजिए लड़कियाँ = g, तो लड़के = 400 − g। तब 0.60(400 − g) + 0.80g = 0.65 × 400 = 260। अर्थात् 240 + 0.20g = 260, अतः 0.20g = 20 और g = 100 लड़कियाँ (तथा 300 लड़के)।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
