Indian Economy - Understanding the basics of Indian economic system

A sum of Rs.118 was divided among 50 boys and girls such that each boy received Rs.2.60 and each girl Rs.1.80. Find the number of girls ?

Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36

260p 180p

236p

56p 24p

Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3

Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35

Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
