In a class of 60 students, the ratio of girls to boys is 2 : 3. If 20 more girls join the class, then what is the new number of girls in the class?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 44
If the number of students in the class is 60 and the ratio of girls to boys is 2 : 3.
Thus, the number of girls = (2/5) × 60 = 24
If 20 more girls join the class, then the new number of girls = 20 + 24 = 44
