In a school, the total number of boys is 20% more than the total number of girls.
Formula Used:
Let the number of girls be G.
Number of boys = G + 20% of G
Calculation:
Number of boys = G + 0.2 × G
⇒ Number of boys = 1.2G
The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls = 1.2G : G
⇒ \(\dfrac{1.2G}{G}\)
⇒ 1.2 : 1
⇒ 6 : 5
∴ The correct answer is option 1.
