Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Given: The number of pupils in a class = 55
Ratio of male and female = 5 : 6
Let the number of male and female pupils be 5x and 6x, respectively.
So, the total number of pupils = 5x + 6x = 11x
According to the question,
11x = 55
$\therefore$ x = 5
Number of female pupils = 6x = 6 × 5 = 30
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
