1/4th of number of boys and 3/8th of number of girls participated in annual sports of the school. What fractional part of total number of students participated?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let number of boys in school are B and Girls are G.
Total number of students participated
= (B x 1/4 + G x 3/8)
= (B/4 + 3G/8)
∴ Required percentage
= ((B/4 + 3G/8)/(B + G) x 100%)
Clearly, given data is inadequate.
