• B. $20\%$
• C. $6\%$
• D. $26\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $14\%$

Number of girls $=\frac{4}{7}\times 2800=1600$
Number of boys $=1200$
Number of boys in Painting $=\frac{1020}{5}=240$
Number of girls in Cooking clases $=\frac{1}{4}\times 1600=400$
Number of boys in Cooking classes $=700-400=300$
Number of boys in Singing classes $=\frac{2}{5}\times 1200=480$
Number of boys in Dancing classes $=1200-240-300-480=180$
Number of girls in Singing classes $=2\times 480=960$
Number of girls in Dancing classes $=\frac{5}{4}\times 180=255$
Number of girls in Painting classes $=1600-400-960-225=15$
Required per cent$=\frac{400}{2800}\times 100$
$=\frac{100}{7}\approx 14\%$
