- The ratio of boys to girls is 5:8.

- Total students in the school are 260.

- To find the number of boys, calculate: \( \frac{5}{5+8} \times 260 = \frac{5}{13} \times 260 = 100 \).

- To find the number of girls, calculate: \( \frac{8}{5+8} \times 260 = \frac{8}{13} \times 260 = 160 \).

- The difference between the number of girls and boys is \( 160 - 100 = 60 \).

- Option 4: 60 is the correct option.
