    A 336 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 348 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 328 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 352 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 344 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of girls in class A = (4/13) × 104 = 32
    Number of boys in class A = (9/13) × 104 = 72
    Number of boys in class B = 124 × 2 - 72 = 248 - 72 = 176
    Number of girls in class B = 96 × 2 - 32 = 192 - 32 = 160
    Total number of students in class B = 176 + 160 = 336
