    Question

    In a class of boys and girls, the number of girls is twice the number of boys. If 20 more boys join the class, the ratio of girls and boys is 1: 1. How many total students were there in the class initially?

    A.

    60

    B.

    75

    C.

    45

    D.

    90

    Correct option is A

    Let the number of boys be x

    and the number of girls be 2x

    x+202x=11\frac{x+20}{2x} = \frac{1}{1}​​

    x+ 20 = 2x

    x= 20

    Total number of students = x + 2x = 3x = 3× 20 = 60
