Manbar Singh · Accepted Answer

Let the total number of students in the school = xthen number of
students below 8 years of age = 20100 × x = x5then the
remaining students = x - x5 = 4x5The number of students of 8 years
of age = 48then the number of students above 3 years of age = 48The
number of students of 8 years of age andand above than 8 years = 48
+ 48 = 96Hence, 4x5 = 96⇒ 4x = 96 × 5⇒ x = 96
× 54⇒ x = 24 × 5 = 120Therefore, total number of
students in the school = 120
