Question:

In a class of 60 where girls are twice to that of boys. Annu , a girl 20th from the top. If there are  12 girls ahead of her then, how many boys are after her? 

 

Options:

12

13

8

15

Correct Answer:

13

Explanation:

Number of girls are twice to that of boys. 

i.e.   G = 2B 

Total number of students = 60

 G + B = 60

 2B + B = 60 

 3B = 60 

B= 20 ( number of boys) 

 G= 40 ( number of girls ) 

Now, 

Annu is 20th from top and 12 girls are ahead of her . Till 20 there are 13 girls .

That means there are 7 boys ahead of her . 

So, number of boys after Annu = total number of boys - number of boys ahead of her 

                                               = 20 - 7 = 13
