  1. In a school there were 1554 students and the ratio of the number of the boys and girls was 4 : 3. After a few days, 30 girls joined the school but a few boys left; as a result the ratio of the boys and girls became 7 : 6. The number of boys who left the school is
    1. 76
    2. 74
    3. 84
    4. 86
Correct Option: A

In the school,

Boys ⇒
4
× 1554 = 888
7

Girls ⇒
3
× 1554 = 666
7

After 30 days,
Girls = 666 + 30 = 696
If x boys leave the school, then,
According to the question,
888 − x
=
7
6966

⇒ 
888 − x
= 7
116

⇒  888 – x = 116 × 7 = 812
⇒  x = 888 – 812 = 76
