    C 384 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 372 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 390 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of girls in class A = (5/9) × 108 = 60
    Number of boys in class A = (4/9) × 108 = 48
    Number of boys in class B = 114 × 2 - 48 = 228 - 48 = 180
    Number of girls in class B = 129 × 2 - 60 = 258 - 60 = 198
    Total number of students in class B = 180 + 198 = 378
