Explanation

Total boys = 40+35+15+35+40+20 = 185. Total girls = 10+25+10+35+30+20 = 130. The ratio is 185:130, which simplifies by dividing by 5 to 37:26.

AI explanation

First, we calculate the total number of boys across all divisions and standards: 40 + 35 + 15 + 35 + 40 + 20 = 185. Next, we calculate the total number of girls: 10 + 25 + 10 + 35 + 30 + 20 = 130. The ratio of boys to girls is therefore 185 : 130, which simplifies to 37 : 26.
