      A 15.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2.55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Number of boys in 2019 = 4800 × 0.55 = 2640

      Number of girls in 2019 = 4800 - 2640 = 2160

      Number of boys in 2020 = 2640 × 1.20 = 3168

      Number of girls in 2020 = 2160 × 0.85 = 1836

      Total students in 2020 = 3168 + 1836 = 5004

      So, percentage change in total students = {(5004 - 4800) / 4800} × 100 = 4.25%
