In ratio 3:5
Lets take x1 as 3
Lets take x2 as 5
Lets take y1 as number of boys as y
Lets take y2 as number of girls as 60

x1:x2 :: y1:y2
Product of mean = Product of extremes
x2*y1 = x1 * y2
5*y = 3*60
5y = 180
y = 180/5 = 36
y2= 36

Therefore, the number of boys is 36 boys.


Second question :
The point of 4th vertex is (-2,7)
