SchoolNumber of StudentsPercentage of Boys
IXXXIXIIIXXXIXII
S11209015012540306080
S215010012010030555045
S314012010012020406560
S41001008015035458040

For all schools, the correct arrangement of classes in ascending order of number of boys is ______.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The number of boys for each school is calculated by multiplying the Total Students by the Percentage of Boys.

SchoolClass IX BoysClass X BoysClass XI BoysClass XII Boys
S1120×40%=48120 \times 40\% = 4890×30%=2790 \times 30\% = 27150×60%=90150 \times 60\% = 90125×80%=100125 \times 80\% = 100
S2150×30%=45150 \times 30\% = 45100×55%=55100 \times 55\% = 55120×50%=60120 \times 50\% = 60100×45%=45100 \times 45\% = 45
S3140×20%=28140 \times 20\% = 28120×40%=48120 \times 40\% = 48100×65%=65100 \times 65\% = 65120×60%=72120 \times 60\% = 72
S4100×35%=35100 \times 35\% = 35100×45%=45100 \times 45\% = 4580×80%=6480 \times 80\% = 64150×40%=60150 \times 40\% = 60
TOTAL156175279277

The total number of boys in each class across all schools:

Class IX: 156156

Class X: 175175

Class XI: 279279

Class XII: 277277


Arranging the classes from lowest to highest:

156<175<277<279156 < 175 < 277 < 279

The correct arrangement is IX, X, XII, XI.
