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
