    B 462 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 432 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 472 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of girls in class A = (5/12) × 144 = 60
    Number of boys in class A = (7/12) × 144 = 84
    Number of boys in class B = 174 × 2 - 84 = 348 - 84 = 264
    Number of girls in class B = 126 × 2 - 60 = 252 - 60 = 192
    Total number of students in class B = 264 + 192 = 456
