Let the number of girls be G and total number of students be N.
Given that, 40% N < G < 50%
12N/25 < G < 1N/2
Multiplying throughout by 50, we get
24N < 50G < 25N
Here 50G is a number which is multiple of 50.
Now checking with the options:
Option (a), 25 (starting with the smallest of all the given options)
24 × N = 24 × 25 = 600
And, 25 × N = 25 × 25 = 625
So, there is no multiple of 50 in this range.
Option (c), 27 (the second smallest value in the given options)
24 × N = 24 × 27 = 648
And, 25 × N = 25 × 25 = 675
So, there lies a multiple of 50 in this range i.e. 650.
So, option (c) satisfies. Ans.
Verification:
50G = 650
G = 13, N = 27
13/27 × 100 = 48.14% which lies between 48% and 50%.
