The total number of boys in a school is 16% more than the total number of girls in the school. What is the respective ratio of the total number of boys to the total number of girls in the school ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
E
Let the number of girls be x
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Number of boys}} \cr & = 116\% {\text{ of }}x = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x \cr & \therefore {\text{Required ratio}} \cr & = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x:x \cr & = 29:25 \cr} $$
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Number of boys}} \cr & = 116\% {\text{ of }}x = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x \cr & \therefore {\text{Required ratio}} \cr & = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x:x \cr & = 29:25 \cr} $$
