A) 450

B) 495

C) 345

D) 480

E) None of these

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Number of students enrolled in various streams:

IT → $\left(\frac{20}{100}\times3500\right)$ = 700

Arts → $\left(\frac{30}{100}\times3500\right)$ = 1050

Science → $\left(\frac{22}{100}\times3500\right)$ = 770

Commerce → $\left(\frac{12}{100}\times3500\right)$

= 420

Management → $\left(\frac{16}{100}\times3500\right)$

= 560

Number of girls enrolled in various streams :

IT → $\left(\frac{18}{100}\times1500\right)$ = 270

Arts → $\left(\frac{38}{100}\times1500\right)$ = 570

Science → $\left(\frac{11}{100}\times1500\right)$ = 165

Commerce → $\left(\frac{21}{100}\times1500\right)$ 

= 315

Management → $\left(\frac{12}{100}\times1500\right)$

=180

Total number of girls enrolled in Science and Commerce together

= (165 + 315) = 480
