A total of 3000 chocolates were distributed among 120 boys and girls such that each boy received 2 chocolates and each girl received 3 chocolates. Find the respective number of boys and girls?

A. 70, 50
B. 60, 60
C. 50, 70
D. 40, 80

Let the number of boys be x.

Number of girls is 120 – x.
Total number of chocolates received by boys and girls = 2x + 3(120 – x) = 300
=> 360 – x = 300 => x = 60.
So, the number of boys or girls is 60

Correct Answer: 60, 60 ✔
