Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
First, calculate the total number of students enrolled in Tennis by taking 20% of the total 6000 students, which equals 1200.
Next, determine the number of girls in Tennis by calculating 22% of the total 3500 girls, resulting in 770.
Subtracting the number of girls from the total students gives 430 boys.
The difference between girls and boys is 770 - 430 = 340.
