Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

First, calculate the number of girls in School B scoring between 90-95%. The total students in this range is 10,000. School B accounts for 6% of these students: 10,000 * (6/100) = 600 students. The ratio of Girls to Boys is 1:4, so the number of girls is (1/5) * 600 = 120.\nNext, calculate the number of girls in School D scoring 95% and above. The total students here is 6,000. School D accounts for 8%: 6,000 * (8/100) = 480 students. The Girls to Boys ratio is 7:1, meaning girls constitute (7/8) of the total. Thus, number of girls is (7/8) * 480 = 420.\nFinally, find the required percentage: (Girls in B / Girls in D) * 100 = (120 / 420) * 100. Simplifying the fraction gives (2/7) * 100 ≈ 28.57%. This matches Option A.
