Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1.2963.
Total students = 6500
Total number of students in school A = 18% of 6500 = 1170
Total number of students in school B = 22% of 6500 = 1430
Total number of students in school C = 16% of 6500 = 1040
Total number of students in school D = 23% of 6500 = 1495
Total number of students in school E = 21% of 6500 = 1365
Total boys in A, C, and D = 800 + 600 + 700 = 2100
Total girls in B = 1430 - 850 = 580
Total girls in C = 1040 - 600 = 440
Total girls in D = 1365 - 765 = 600
Total girls in B, C, and E = 580 + 440 + 600 = 1620
Percentage = × 100 = 129.63% or 1.2963
