    Let number of boys in school are B and Girls are G.
    Total number of students participated
    = (B x 1/4 + G x 3/8)
    = (B/4 + 3G/8)
    ∴ Required percentage
    = ((B/4 + 3G/8)/(B + G) x 100%)

    Correct Option: D

    Let number of boys in school are B and Girls are G.
    Total number of students participated
    = (B x 1/4 + G x 3/8)
    = (B/4 + 3G/8)
    ∴ Required percentage
    = ((B/4 + 3G/8)/(B + G) x 100%)

    Clearly, given data is inadequate.

    Let the amount be ₹ a
    According to the question,
    a x 5/12= 33/4 x 100
    solve the equation.
