Answer
Total students = 560
Ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls = 5 : 3.
Sum of ratio = 5 + 3 = 8.
Number of boys = x 560 = 5 x 70 = 350.
Number of girls = x 560 = 210.
10 new boys are admitted in school , so total boys now = 350 + 10 = 360.
Let new girls to be admitted be x, so now total girls = (210 + x)
New boys to girls ratio = 3 : 2
Hence, the number of new girls to be admitted are 30.
