There are 1650 students in a college. The difference between the number of boys and girls in the college is 400. What is the percentage of girls in the college ?

Correct Answer: 38

Explanation:

Let no. of boys be 'B' and no. of girls be 'G'


Here from given data,


B + G = 1650 .....(1)


B - G = 400 .....(2)


From (1) & (2), we get


2B = 2050


=> B = 1025


=> G = 1650 - 1025 = 625


Hence, the % of girls = 625 x 100/1650


=> 38% (approx).
