    Let the number of boys be B.
    Then, number of girls = 2B.
    ∴ B + 2B = 60
    or 3B = 60
    or B = 20.
    So, number of boys = 20 and number of girls = 40.

    Correct Option: C

    Let the number of boys be B.
    Then, number of girls = 2B.
    ∴ B + 2B = 60
    or 3B = 60
    or B = 20.
    So, number of boys = 20 and number of girls = 40.
    Number of students behind Kamal in rank (60 – 17) =43.
    Number of girls ahead of Kamal in rank = 9.
    Number of girls behind Kamal in rank = (40 – 9) = 31
    ∴ Number of boys behind Kamal in rank = (43 – 31) = 12.
