Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 1771.
Given that
The ratio of boys and girls in a school is 6 : 7
The total number of students in the school = 3289
According to the question
6x + 7x = 3289
13x = 3289
x = 253
Hence, the number of girls = 7x = 7* 253 = 1771
