**Given Information:**

- 5 students of class X took part in a math quiz.
- The number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys.

**Let's solve the problem step by step:**

1. **Assign Variables:**
Let's assume the number of boys as 'x' and the number of girls as 'x + 4'.

2. **Total Students:**
According to the given information, the total number of students who took part in the quiz is 5. So we can write the equation as:
x + (x + 4) = 5

3. **Simplify the Equation:**
Combine like terms:
2x + 4 = 5

4. **Isolate the Variable:**
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 5 - 4
2x = 1

5. **Solve for x:**
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 1/2

Since the number of students cannot be a fraction, we can conclude that our assumed value for 'x' is incorrect.

6. **Reassign Variables:**
Let's reassign the number of boys as 'x + 1' and the number of girls as 'x + 1 + 4'.

7. **Total Students (Revised):**
The total number of students who took part in the quiz is still 5. So we can write the revised equation as:
(x + 1) + (x + 1 + 4) = 5

8. **Simplify the Revised Equation:**
Combine like terms:
2x + 6 = 5

9. **Isolate the Variable:**
Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 5 - 6
2x = -1

10. **Solve for x:**
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = -1/2

Again, we have obtained a fraction as the solution which is not possible for the number of students. Hence, our revised assumption is also incorrect.

11. **Reassign Variables (Revised):**
Let's reassign the number of boys as 'x + 2' and the number of girls as 'x + 2 + 4'.

12. **Total Students (Revised):**
The total number of students who took part in the quiz is still 5. So we can write the revised equation as:
(x + 2) + (x + 2 + 4) = 5

13. **Simplify the Revised Equation:**
Combine like terms:
2x + 8 = 5

14. **Isolate the Variable:**
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 5 - 8
2x = -3

15. **Solve for x:**
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = -3/2

Once again, we have obtained a fraction as the solution which is not possible for the number of students. Hence, our revised assumption is also incorrect.

16. **Conclusion:**
After attempting different assumptions, we can conclude

X=3 and y=5
