  • Options

  • 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
