Question

In a class, the number of boys is more than the number of girls by $12\%$ of the total strength. The ratio of boys to girls is.

• A. $15:11$
• B. $11:14$
• C. $14:11$
• D. $8:11$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$14:11$

Let the no. of total student in the class is $100$ and number of boy be $x$

Now, $12\%$ of the $100$ is $12$

Then, number of girl is $x-12$.

Total number of student is $x+(x-12)=100$

Therefore, $x=56$

Then, the no. of boys $=56$

And no. of girls $=44$

Boys:Girls $=56:44=14:11$
