Q:

# In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?

 A) 20 B) 25 C) 30 D) Data inadequate

Explanation:

Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.

Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.

So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.

Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35.

Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.

Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y).

Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 ${\color{Blue}&space;\Leftrightarrow&space;}$ 2y ${\color{Blue}&space;\Leftrightarrow&space;}$ 30 ${\color{Blue}&space;\Leftrightarrow&space;}$ y = 15.

So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20.

Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.

Q:

If two line pa + b = 2 and 3a + b = 4 are parallel to each other, then what is the value of p ?

 A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4

Explanation:

Given two lines are parallel

pa+b=2

b=-pa+2..........(1)

3a+b=4

b=-3a+4 ...........(2)

m1 = -p

m2= -3

The condition for the two lines to be parallel is m1=m2

p = 3
