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