(b) How many students in the school like mangoes?
(c) Altogether, how many students are there in the school?
(d) Is the number of girls more than 350 or less than 350?

Answer 1

(a)
Number of girls who like oranges = 136
Number of boys who like oranges = 128
Total number of students who like oranges = 136 + 128
= 264


(b)
Number of girls who like mangoes = 240
Number of boys who like mangoes = 243
Total number of students who like mangoes = 240 + 243
= 483


(c)
Total number of students in the school = 264 + 483
= 747



(d)
Number of girls who like oranges = 136
Number of girls who like mangoes = 240
Total number of girls in the school = 136 + 240
= 376

Thus, the number of girls in the school is more than 350.
