  • Question
  • One-third of the boys and one-half of the girls of a college participated in a sport. If the number of participating students is 300, out of which 100 are boys. What is the total number of students in the college?


  • Options
  • A. 500
  • B. 300
  • C. 600
  • D. 700

  • Correct Answer
  • 700 

    Explanation

    Let number of boys in the school = x

    Let number of girls in the school = y

    Number of students participated in the sports = 300

    Out of which boys = 100

    but given number of boys participated in sports = x/3

    => x/3 = 100

    => x = 300

    Remaining girls = 300 - 100 = 200

    => y/2 = 200

    => y = 400

    Therefore, total number of students in the school = x + y = 300 + 400 = 700
