Out of the total 68 students, number of boys in class is 28 and number of girls in class is 40.
Given that, Total number of students = 68
And number of boys exceed number of girls by 12
Let, number of girls be x
Therefore number of boys = x + 12
According to the question,
Number of boys + Number of girls = 68
(x + 12) + x = 68
Now solving the linear equation, we get
2x + 12 = 68
2x = 68-12
2x = 56
x = 56/2
x = 28
Hence, number of girls = x = 28
And number of boys = x + 12 = 28 + 12 = 40
