    C 540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Number of boys = (4/6) × 720 = 480

    Number of girls = (2/6) × 720 = 240

    Required number of students = (9/12) × 480 + (6/8) × 240 = 360 + 180 = 540
