Question:medium

The ratio of boys and girls in a school is 3 : 2. If 20% of the boys and 25% of the girls are scholarship holders, then the percentage of students who are scholarship holders are?

Show Hint

Whenever ratios are provided alongside percentages, assume the values to be \(300\) and \(200\) instead of working with small variables like \(3x\) and \(2x\). This removes fractional denominators instantly and saves valuable time during exams!
