How many boys are there in the class The number of boys in the class is 8 more than the

let no.of boys is x nd girls y
now as per qsn x-y=8
nw, y=5(x-y)
so, y=5*8=40
so no. of girls 40;
no of boys 48
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(8)
answer is 40
suppose let x+8 be the total no.of boys and y be the no.of girls
x-y=8
and x+8=5(x-y)
=5(8)
=40
there fore total no.of boys are 40
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(3)
8+y=5(x-y)
8+y=5x-5y, 5x-6y=8....(1)
x-y=8...(2)
we get y=32(no of girls)
x=40

48 is correct ans...

B-8=G......(1)
G=5(B-G).....(2)
From eqn 1 & 2 we got B=48

correct ans >>>>>is 48.

No. of boys will be 40.

Boys = 8 + girls

8 + girls = 5((8+ girls )-girls)

girls=40-8=32

boys=8+girls=8+32=40
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
no. of girls= x, no. of boys= x+8, diff b/w boys and girls =8,
x+8 =5(8), x=32, no. of boys = 40.
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
let no. of boys be = b
and no of girls be = g
from the ques. we have,
b=8+g=5(b-g)
solving the above equation we get, no of boys = b =40
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
x be the number of girls. boys y=x+8
Given Boys=5 times(y-x)
y=5(x+8-x)=40.
9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
GIVEN THAT
B=G+8
B=5*(B-G)
FROM ABOVE
G+8=5*B-5*G
6*G+8=5*G+40
G=32
THEN B=40

How many boys are there in the class?
The number of boys in the class is 8 more than the number of girls in the class, which is five times the difference between the number of girls and boys in the class.
