Given:

Ratio of boys to girls = 5 : 4

Number of boys = 45

Formula used:

If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4, then:

Number of girls = (Number of boys × Ratio of girls) ÷ Ratio of boys

Calculation:

Number of girls = (45 × 4) ÷ 5

⇒ Number of girls = 180 ÷ 5

⇒ Number of girls = 36

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
