In a class of certain number of students, in the First semester the ratio between the girls and boys is 6 : 7. In the Second semester, there are 6 girls added into the class and 3 boys left the class, then the ratio of girls to boys becomes 9 : 8. In second semester, find the total number of girls in a class.1. 222. 243. 414. 295. 36

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 36

Given:

Let number of girls and boys present in a class for the first semester be 6a and 7a respectively.

Calculation:

⇒ (6a + 6) : (7a - 3) = 9 : 8

⇒ 48a + 48 = 63a - 27

⇒ a = 5

The number of girls present in a class for first semester = 6 × 5 = 30

∴ The number of girls present in a class for second semester = 30 + 6 = 36
