Total number of students = 14,000
Percentage of boys who participated in annual function = 25%
Percentage of girls who participated in annual function = 60%
Number of girls in school = Number of boys who have not participated in function
Concept used:
Total number of boys or girls = Number of those who participated + Number of those who have not participated
Calculation:
Let the number of boys and girls be x and y respectively
Number of boys who have participated in annual function = 25% of x
⇒ 0.25x
Number of boys who have not participated = (x – 0.25x)
⇒ 0.75x
Number of girls in school = y = 0.75x
Now, as per the question
⇒ x + y = 14,000
⇒ x + 0.75x = 14,000
⇒ 1.75x = 14,000
⇒ x = 8000
Number of boys who have participated in annual function = 0.25x
⇒ 0.25 × 8000
⇒ 2000
∴ The number of boys who have participated in annual function is 2000
