    In a class \[\frac{3}{5}\] 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 students are present?

    A) \[\frac{23}{30}\]                       

    B) \[\frac{23}{36}\]

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

    D) \[\frac{17}{25}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the total number of students in a class be \[x\] \[\therefore \] According to question, Number of girls \[=\frac{3}{5}x\]and number of boys \[=x-\frac{3x}{5}=\frac{2}{5}x\] Number of girls which are absent \[=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{9}x=\frac{6x}{45}\]and number of boys which are absent \[=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}\times x=\frac{1}{10}\times x\] \[\therefore \]Total number of students which are present \[=x-\frac{6x}{45}-\frac{x}{10}=\frac{(90-12-9)x}{90}\] \[=\frac{69x}{90}=\frac{23x}{30}\] Therefore, the \[\frac{23}{30}\] part of the students are present in the class.
