  1. The total number of students in a school was 660. The ratio between boys and girls was 13 : 9. After some days, 30 girls joined the school and some boys left the school and new ratio between boys and girls became 6 : 5. The number of boys who left the school is :
    1. 50
    2. 40
    3. 30
    4. 60
Correct Option: C

In the first case,

Boys = 660 ×
13
= 390
22

Girls = 660 ×
9
= 270
22

If x boys leave the school, then
390 − x
=
6
270 + 305

⇒  390 – x = 360
⇒  x = 390 – 360 = 30
