    7 boys.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Total number of students in the school = 60

    Total number of girls in the school = 33

    Total number of students currently studying chemistry = 24

    Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16

    Question asked:

    How many boys are currently studying chemistry?

    Solution:

    Total number of girls in the school = 33

    Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16

    Total number of girls currently studying chemistry = Total number of girls in the school - Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry

    Total number of girls currently studying chemistry = 33 - 16 = 17

    Now:-

    Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry = 24

    Total number girls currently studying chemistry = 17

    Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry - Total number girls currently studying chemistry

    Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = 24 - 17 = 7

    Therefore, 7 boys are currently studying chemistry.
