Validate

Solution:

Concept:

Calculate the number of girls from city C and the total candidates from city D using given percentages, then find the percentage of girls from C relative to candidates from D.

Explanation:

Total candidates = 78000. Total boys = 24000.

Candidates from city C = 15% of 78000 =

11700

Boys from city C = 17% of 24000 =

4080

So, girls from city C =

11700 - 4080 = 7620

Candidates from city D = 20% of 78000 =

15600

Required percentage =

\frac{7620}{15600} \times 100 \approx 49\%

Answer:
