Let the number of boys and girls in the room be x and y respectively.
According to the question,
x2 = y2 + 28
⇒ x2 − y2 = 28 ..........(i)
and x = y + 2
⇒ x – y = 2 ..........(ii)
On dividing equation (i) by equation (ii), we havex2 − y2 = 28 x − y 2 ⇒ (x + y) (x − y) = 14 x − y
⇒ x + y = 14
∴ Total number of boys and girls = 14Correct Option: B
