  1. The ratio of the number of boys and girls of a school with 504 students is 13 : 11. What will be the new ratio if 12 more girls are admitted?
    1. 91 : 81
    2. 81 : 91
    3. 9 : 10
    4. 10 : 9
Correct Option: A

Total numbers of girls in the school

= 504 ×
11
13 + 11

= 504 ×
11
= 231
24

Total numbers of boys in the school
= 504 ×
13
13 + 11

= 504 ×
13
= 273
29

Now, total no. of girls when 12 more girls are admitted
= 231 + 12 = 243
