Correct Answer: 5000
Solution : Let the number of boys be $x$ The number of girls = 6000 – $x$ Now, 60% of $x$ + 90% of (6000 - $x$) = 65% of 6000 ⇒ 0.6$x$ + 0.9(6000 – $x$) = 0.65 × 6000 ⇒ 0.6$x$ + 5400 – 0.9$x$ = 3900 ⇒ – 0.3$x$ + 5400 = 3900 ⇒ – 0.3$x$ = – 1500 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{-1500}{-0.3}$ = $\frac{1500}{\frac{3}{10}}$ = $\frac{1500 × 10}{3}$ = 5000 Hence, the correct answer is 5000.
