Answer»

Given, RATIO of number of boys and girls in a school is 2 : 3.

Let the number of boys and girls be 2a and 3a RESPECTIVELY. Where a is any constant

Given, 30% of the boys and 40% of the girls are SCHOLARSHIP holders.

Total number of boys who are not getting scholarship = 70% of 2a = 1.4a

Total number of girls who are not getting scholarship = 60% of 3a = 1.8a

Total number of students not getting scholarship = 1.4a + 1.8a = 3.2a

% of students not getting the scholarship $(= \frac{{3.2a}}{{5A}} \times 100\% \;)$

∴ % of students not getting scholarship = 64%
