\( \Large \frac{1}{4} \)th of number of boys and \( \Large \frac{3}{8} \)th of number of girls participated in annual sports of the school. What fractional part of total number of students participated?

A) 32%
B) 20%
C) 36%
D) Data inadequate

Correct Answer:




D) Data inadequate

Description for Correct answer:

Total number of students participated

= \( \Large \frac{1}{4}B + \frac{3}{8}G \)

Therefore, Required percentage

= = \( \Large \left(\frac{\frac{1}{4}B + \frac{3}{8}G} {B+G}\right) \times 100\% \)

Clearly, given data is inadequate.
