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 :
-
- 50
- 40
- 30
- 60
Correct Option: C
In the first case,
Boys = 660 × | = 390 | |
22 |
Girls = 660 × | = 270 | |
22 |
If x boys leave the school, then
= | ||
270 + 30 | 5 |
⇒ 390 – x = 360
⇒ x = 390 – 360 = 30
