Answer: 48








Explanation:
Let the boys = b and girls = g
Given bg12=21
Substitute b = g in the above equation. g = 24. So total students = 24 + 24 = 48

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
