In a school, \( \frac{5}{8} \) of the total students are girls. If the number of girls is 120 more than that of the boys. What is the strength of the school? how many boys are there?
- A. 160
- B. 120
- C. 100
- D. 180
Step-by-step solution
Let total students be T. Girls = (5/8)T, Boys = (3/8)T. Given Girls - Boys = 120, so (5/8)T - (3/8)T = (1/4)T = 120 => T = 480. Then Boys = (3/8)*480 = 180.
