-
- Girls strength is twice as boys
SO let us consider girls=20 boys=10 teacher=1
Given that Each girl bow every other girls,boys and teacher.
so one girl will bow remaining 19 girls + 10 boys + 1 teacher = 30 bow
1 girl = 30 bow
so for 20 girl = 20 * 30 = 600 bows.
Again given that each boy bow every other boys,girls and teachers.
so 1 boy will bow remaining 9 boys + 20 girls + 1 teacher = 30 bow
1 boy = 30 bows
for 10 boys = 10 * 30 = 300 bows
so totally 300(boys bows) + 600 (girls bows) = 900 bows.

- here tot 900 bows and girls : boys ratio in the school is 2:1
so the ans will be G=600,B=300 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(4)
- let number of boys= n
NO of girls =2n
total no of bow by each girl and each boy to each other =(2n+n)c2 =(3n)c2
total no of bow given to teacher by girls =2n
total no of bows given to teacher by boys= n
total no bows =(3n)c2 + 2n + n
900 =3n*(3n-1)+2n+n
900 =9(n^2)-3n+3n
900 = 9(n^2)
n=10
so boys =10
girls =20 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 450
total 900 bows
so girls=2(boys)
900=2(450) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
