    Question

    The ratio of boys and girls in a school that has 480 students is 7 : 9. What will be the ratio of boys and girds if 3 more girls are admitted to the school?

    A.

    9:7

    B.

    7:9

    C.

    10:13

    D.

    13:10

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Total strenght of school = 480

    Ratio of boys and girls in the school = 7:9

    Solution:

    Let the ratio of boys and girls be 7x and 9x respectively

    Then 7x+9x = 480

    16x =480

    x= 30

    Number of boys = 7x = 210

    Number of girls = 9x =270

    If 3 more girls are admitted then number of girls = 273

    New ratio of boys and girls =210273=1013 \frac{210}{273} =\frac{10}{13}​​

    Ratio of boys and girls is 10:13
