      B 1:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total boys be x and the total girls be (65 - x).
      Total amount which the boys get = x * 2(6/13)% of 65 = x * (32/13)% of 65 = 8x/5
      Total amount which the girls get = (65 - x) * 12/13 % of 65 = 39 - 3x/5
      According to the question-
      => 8x/5 + 39 - 3x/5 = 78
      => x + 39 = 78
      => x=39
      Ratio of boys to the girls = 39:(65 - 39) = 39:26 = 3:2
