Solution : Let the ratio of boys and girls be $8x:5x$ Total students be $8x+5x=13x$ Now, checking for the options which is divisible by 13. a. 81 = $\frac{81}{13}$ = 6.23 b. 78 = $\frac{78}{13}$ = 6 c. 57 = $\frac{57}{13}$ = 4.38 d. 66 = $\frac{66}{13}$ = 5.07 Thus, 78 is exactly divisible by 13. Hence, the correct answer is 78.
