How many children are there in the class ?
I. Boys and girls are in the ratio of 8 : 5 respectively and number of girls is less than that of boys by 24.
II. Number of girls in the class is 40
Answer : Option A
Explanation : From statement I,
Let the number of boys and girls be 8x and 5x respectively.
Then,
8x – 5x = 24
⇒ 3x = 24
∴ x = 8
Hence, the number of children can be determined. That is, 13x = 13 × 8 = 104
Statement II does not give any specific relation between the number of boys and girls.
