Question:

Options:

3 : 1

4 : 3

5 : 2

3 : 2

Correct Answer:

3 : 2

Explanation:

Boys : Girls

  5   :    4

⇒ (5 + 4) units = 414

⇒ 9 units = 414

⇒ 1 unit = 46

⇒ Boys = 5 x 46 = 230

⇒ Girls = 4 x 46 = 184

⇒ 46 Boys admitted to the school = 230 + 46 = 276

New Ratio of Boys and Girl = 276 : 184 = 3 : 2.
