Given:

Number of students admitted in schools A, B and C in 2024 from the table:

School A in 2024 = 225

School B in 2024 = 180

School C in 2024 = 175

Percentage of boys admitted in schools A, B and C together in 2024 = 40%

Calculation:

Total number of students admitted in schools A, B and C together in 2024 = 225 + 180 + 175

⇒ Total students = 580

Number of boys admitted = 40% of 580

⇒ Number of boys = (40 / 100) × 580

⇒ Number of boys = 0.40 × 580

⇒ Number of boys = 232

Total number of girls admitted = Total students - Number of boys

⇒ Total number of girls = 580 - 232

⇒ Total number of girls = 348

∴ The correct answer is option 4.
