Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 40,600.
Total number of students who opted for History, Mathematics, and Science = 15 + 20 + 35 = 70 thousand
Percentage of girls = 42%
Number of girls = 42% of 70,000 = × 70,000 = 29,400
Number of boys = 70,000 − 29,400 = 40,600
