Answer : 2. "50"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 50 Explanation: 15 girls are absent => b = 2(g-15)...... eqn...(1) 45 boys are absent => g - 15 = 5(b-45).....eqn...(2) => g = 5(b-45) + 15 => b = 2((5(b-45)+15)-15) => b = 2(5b - 225 + 15 - 15) => b = 2(5b-225) => b = 10b - 450 => 9b = 450 => b = 50 so from equation(2) g - 15 = 5(b - 45) => g - 15 = 5(50-45) => g - 15 = 5(5) => g = 25 + 15 => g = 40 Therefore, the number of boys = 50 and girls = 40
