Q:

One-third of the boys and one-half of the girls of a college participated in a sport. If the number of participating students is 300, out of which 100 are boys. What is the total number of students in the college ?

A) 550 B) 575
C) 625 D) 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 700

Explanation:

Let number of boys = B

Number of girls = G

From the given data,

1B/3 + 1G/2 = 300

But given B/3 = 100

=> B = 300

G/2 = 300 - 100

G = 200 x 2

=> G = 400

Therefore, total number of students in the college = B + G = 700.
