    Answer:

    The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

    Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

    b : g = 3 : 5

    5 b = 3 g ….. (1)

    Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b – 9

    So, the ratio is

    (b – 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

    4 b – 36 = 6 + g

    4 b – g = 42 …. (2)

    From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

    4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18

    And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

    So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.
