Saraswathy  (10 years ago)

Ratio of boys : girls => 5x : 6x
Total no. of students including boys nd girls = 5x+6x = 11x

25% of boys => 5x*25/100 = 5x/4
25% of girls => 6x*25/100 =3x/2
No. of students getting scholorship => 5x/4 + 3x/2 = 11x/4
No. of students does not get the scholorship = 11x - 11x/4 = 33x/4

% of students not getting scolorship => 33x/4/11x * 100
=> 100*33x/44x
= 75%

Ans : 75%

lakshmi sravani  (8 years ago)

ratio of boys and girls= 5x : 6x
so, the total no of students = 5x+6x= 11x
now assume the percentage of no of boys and girls as 100
given 25% of boys have scholarship that means ( in 100 only 25% of boys have scholarship and the remaining 75% do not have the same logic is applied for girls also)
boys( who do not have scholarship) --> 75/100 *5x = 15x/4
girls ( who do not have scholarship) --> 75/100 * 6x= 18x/4

total no of students who do not have scholarship = 15x/4 + 18x/4 =33x/4

finally percentage of students who do not have scholarship is

33x/4/11x * 100 ---> 33x/4 * 1/11x * 100 = 75%

T.sowjanya  (8 years ago)

Let the no of girls=5x
no of boys =6x
total strength=5x+6x=11x
Girls who get scholarship=25%
who do not get scholarship=100-25=75%
75%(5x)=75*5x/100=15x/4
percentage of boys who don't get scholarship =75%
75%(6x)= 75*6x/100=18x/4
total no of boys and girls those who don't scholarship=33x/4
in terms of percentages=33x/4/11x8*100=75%
