18.A classroom has equal number of boys and girls. Eight girls left to play kho-kho, leaving twice as many boys as girls in the classroom. What was the total number of girls and boys present initially?
A. 16
B. 24
C. 32
D. 48
Answer:
Option : C
Let the number of boys = x.
Then, number of girls = x.
Now, 2(x - 8) = x.⇒ x = 16.
Total number of students = 2x = 2 x 16 = 32
