Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 6 : 5.
Let the number of girls be x.
According to the given question,
Number of boys = 120% of x
⇒ 6/5x
Now, required ratio = 6/5x : x
⇒ 6 : 5
Hence the ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in the school is 6 : 5.
