The number of girls participated in the event is 120 less than the number of boys. II. The number of girls in the college is 25% more than that of the boys participated in the event. Correct Answer Only I
From Statements I:
60% - 40% = 120
∴ 20% = 120
1% = 6
100% = 600
According to statement II:
As there is no numerical value provided in the statement II so we will be able to find the exact number of boys in the class
∴ statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question
