​

Answer 1

Answer:  30 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys:Girls

3       : 1

Let no. of girls =x

⇒ no. of boys =3x.

⇒ no. of students in class =4x

                                            =   4/3×3x

                                            =  4 /3  ×no. of boys

  40=4/3* no.of boys

40* (3/4)=no.of boys

30=no of boys
