  • Question
  • The average age of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of the boys in the class is 16.4 years and that of the girls is 15.4 years. What is the ratio of boys to girls in the class ?


  • Options
  • A. 1:3
  • B. 2:3
  • C. 3:2
  • D. 3:1

  • Correct Answer
  • 2:3 

    Explanation

    Let number of boys = x  , Let number of girls = y
    Total numbers of students = x + y
    (x + y) × 15.8 = 16.4x + 15.4y
    0.6x = 0.4y
    x/y = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3

     

     Ratio of boys and girls in the class is 2:3
