A.

854

B.

798

C.

782

D.

848

Correct option is A

Given:
The number of boys students last year = 610
Decreased percentage in this year = 20%
Solution:
The number of boys students this year = 610 × 80100\frac{80}{100}​ = 488
According to the question
The number of girls = 175100×488\frac{175}{100} × 488​​
=74 \frac74​ × 488
= 7 × 122
= 854
∴ The number of girls is 854.
