If the number of boys and girls in a class are in ratio 7:9 and there are 14 girls more than boys then find the number of girls in the class.
63
Given that the ratio of number of boys and girls in a class = 7:9
∴ Let the number of boys = 7x and number of girls = 9x
The number of girls more than boys = 14 (given)
⇒ 9x - 7x = 14
⇒ 2x = 14
⇒ x = 7
∴ Number of girls = 9x = 9× 7
= 63
