• A. $40$
• B. $39$
• C. $38$
• D. $35$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $39$

$378$ girl

$675$ boy

$378$ girls $=2,3,3,3,7=27\times 14$

$675$ boys $=5,5,3,3,3=27\times 25$

So each class can have $27$ students.

So, no of sections of girls $=14$

No of sections of boys $=25$

Total sections $=39$
