Correct Answer: 44
Solution : Given: In a class of 60 students, the ratio of girls to boys is 2 : 3. Let the number of girls and boys be $2x$ and $3x$ respectively. According to the question, $2x+3x=60$ ⇒ $x=12$ So, the number of girls = (12 × 2) = 24 If 20 more girls join, the number of girls = 24 + 20 = 44 Hence, the correct answer is 44.
