    Solution

    Let, Number of boys initially = 5x
    Number of girls initially = 4x
    When, 10 boys left the playground, leaving total number of girls same as the boys playing in the playground
    (5x - 10) = 4x
    x = 10
    So the difference between number of boys and girls is present initially is 10
