b) $18/49$

c) $23/36$

d) $23/30$

Answer: (d)

Let the total number of students in a class be x

According to question,

Number of girls = $3/5$ x

and number of boys = x – $\text"3x"/5$ = $2/5$ x

Number of girls who are absent

=$3/5 × 2/9$x = $\text"6x"/45$

and number of boys who are absent

=$2/5 × 1/4$ × x = $\text"x"/10$

Total number of students who are present

= x - $\text"6x"/45 - \text"x"/10$

= $\text"(90 – 12 -9)x"/90$

= $\text"69x"/90 = \text"23x"/90$

Therefore, the $23/30$ part of the students are present in the class.
