Question:

380 oranges are distributed among some boys and some girls who are 85 in numbers. Each boy gets four and each girl gets five oranges. The number of boys is?

Options:

40

45

50

55

Correct Answer:

45

Explanation:

Let the number of boys be 'x'

So, number of girls will be (85 - x)

According to question

4x + 5(85−x) = 380

4x + 425 − 5x  = 380

x = 45
