Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the number of boys who passed in each year by multiplying the total passed students by (100% - percentage of girls).
For 2023: School A (500*0.54=270), School B (600*0.58=348), School C (650*0.44=286), School D (720*0.40=288), School E (600*0.46=276), School F (650*0.50=325). Schools B and F have more than 300 boys.
For 2024: School A (550*0.56=308), School B (640*0.60=384), School C (560*0.55=308), School D (800*0.52=416), School E (840*0.45=378), School F (750*0.64=480). All schools have more than 300 boys.
Comparing both years, only School B and School F had more than 300 boys passing in both 2023 and 2024. Thus, the answer is 2.
