A sum of Rs.118 was divided among 50 boys and girls such that each boy received Rs.2.60 and each girl Rs.1.80. Find the number of boys and girls?
Correct Answer: 15 boys and 35 girls
Explanation:
Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36
Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3
Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35
Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
