Question: 21 -

In a class, there are 18 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class ?

Options:

  1. 6

  2. 18

  3. 24

  4. 12

    5. Answer:

    12
    Solution:

    Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 18 or x = 18 x(4/3) = 24.

    If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 24 or y = 24 x (3/2) = 36.

    Therefore Number of girls in the class = (36 - 24) = 12.

    So, required number = 10 + 10 = 20.

Options:

  1. 20

  2. 15

  3. 18

  4. 12

    5. Answer:

    15
    Solution:

    Let son's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years.

    Five years ago, father's age = (3x - 5) years and son's age = (x - 5) years.

    So, 3x - 5 = 4 (x - 5)  3x - 5 = 4x - 20  x = 15.
