    A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 29% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 23% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total students = 7000
    B.Com students = 20% of 7000 = 1400
    B.Sc C.Sci students = 25% of 7000 = 1750

    Girls in B.Com = 60% of 1400 = 840
    Girls in B.Sc C.Sci = 60% of 1750 = 1050

    Total girls = 840 + 1050 = 1890
    Percentage = (1890 / 7000) × 100 = 27%
