    In Class VIII, \[\frac{3}{5}\] of the students are girls and rest are boys. If \[\frac{2}{9}\] of the girls and \[\frac{1}{4}\] of the boys are absent. What part of the total number of student are present?

    A)  \[\frac{23}{30}\]  

    B)  \[\frac{23}{36}\]            

    C)  \[\frac{18}{49}\]                    

    D)  \[\frac{17}{25}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): Let the total number of student in class VIII be x \[\therefore \] Number of girls \[\frac{3}{5}x\] and number of Boys \[=x-\frac{3x}{5}=\frac{2x}{5}\] Number of girls who are absent \[=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{9}x=\frac{6x}{45}\] And number of boys who are absent \[=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}x=\frac{x}{10}\] \[\therefore \] Total number of students who are presents \[=x-\frac{6x}{45}-\frac{x}{10}\] \[=\frac{90x-12x-9x}{90}=\frac{69x}{90}\] \[\therefore \] the \[\frac{23}{30}\] part of the student are present in Class VIII
