  • Question
  • In a class, there are 18 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class?


  • Options
  • A. 6
  • B. 12
  • C. 18
  • D. 24

  • Correct Answer
  • 12 

    Explanation
    Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 18 or x = 18 x(4/3) = 24.

    If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 24 or y = 24 x (3/2) = 36.

    Therefore Number of girls in the class = (36 - 24) = 12.
