Let x be number of girls and y be number of boys.
 
If total number of students is 10 , then we have
 
begin mathsize 14px style x space plus space y space equals space 10 end style ............................(1)
If number of girls is 4 more than number of boys , then
 
x- y = 4 ....................   (2)
 
By adding , equations (1) and (2) , we get , 2 x = 14  or x = 7
 
From equation(1) , y = 10 -x = 10-7 = 3
 
Hence 7 girls and  3 boys attended the quiz program
