Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

First, determine the number of boys who passed from School A in 2023. Total students = 500, Percentage of girls = 46%, so percentage of boys = 54%. Number of boys = 500 * 0.54 = 270.

Next, determine the number of girls who passed from School E in 2023. Total students = 600, Percentage of girls = 54%. Number of girls = 600 * 0.54 = 324.

Finally, calculate the ratio of boys from School A to girls from School E. Ratio = 270 : 324. Simplifying by dividing both by 54 gives 5 : 6.
