A total number of students participated = no of girls + no of boys given.
So, 1/5 + 1/8 = 13/40.
So, 1/5 + 1/8 = 13/40.

Yeah, data inadequate. According to me. There should be a ratio of No of girls and No of boys.

Can anyone tell me how could we know the fraction by having ratio of girls to ratio of boys?

Boys participation = 1/8.
Girls participation = 1/5.
According to 1/8+1/5.
13/40 answer.
Girls participation = 1/5.
According to 1/8+1/5.
13/40 answer.

Data is inadequate because 1/5 of does not mean that gals are only 5. Same is in boys also.

I think you are right Sundar, I have seen this question before where the answer was 2/13.

Sajan is correct. They dint give the total number of students. So data inadequate.

Data Inadequate as;
1/5x+1/8y = x+y only one linear equation in two variables.
1/5x+1/8y = x+y only one linear equation in two variables.

According to my option it should be 13/40, because
1/5+1/8=13/40
1/5+1/8=13/40

1/5& 1/8.
Lcm 40 and 8 + 5 = 13 then the answer is 13/40.
Lcm 40 and 8 + 5 = 13 then the answer is 13/40.
