The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of selecting a girl when a student is chosen randomly from all three sections combined. Here’s how we can approach the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Define the Ratios The ratio of total students in sections A, B, and C is given as 10:12:9. We can denote the total number of students in sections A, B, and C as: - Let the total number of students in section A = 10x - Let the total number of students in section B = 12x - Let the total number of students in section C = 9x
