Answer» Answer: Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Let the no. of girls in class room A be x Let the no. of girls in classroom B be y 1st condition: If 12 girls are sent from classroom A to B then the equation will be Now the no. girls in class A is = x-12 and the no. of girls in class B is = y+12(SINCE class B will gain 12 more girls) Given that if 12 girls are sent from A to B then the no. of girls will become equal: x-12=y+12 x-y=12+12 x-y=24 ----- (equation 1) In 2nd condition it's given that if 11 girls are sent from class B to A then class A will be double of class B Total no. of girls in class B=y If 11 girls are REMOVED = y-11 Total no. of girls in class A=x Hence class A will gain 11 girls = x+11 x+11=2(y-11) x+11=2y-22 x-2y=-11-22 x-2y=-33 -----(equation 2) By subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get x-y= 24 x-2y=-33 -__+__+______(symbols get changed) y=57 __________ By SUBSTITUTING y value to equation 1, we get: x-y = 24 x-57=24 x = 24+57 x = 81 Therefore, class A CONTAINS 81 girls and class B contains 57 girls |
