The correct option is 47.82%.

Let us break down the total data provided in the question to find the required values for the Fine Arts stream.

1. Total Students and Distribution of Girls and Boys:
Total number of students enrolled in 2020-21 = 3,000
Total number of girls = 1,700
Total number of boys = 1,300

2. Fine Arts Stream Calculations:
Total students who opted for Fine Arts = 19% of total students

Total students in Fine Arts = 19 100 × 3000 = 570

Number of girls who opted for Fine Arts = 20% of total number of girls

Number of girls in Fine Arts = 20 100 × 1700 = 340

Number of boys who opted for Fine Arts = Total students in Fine Arts - Number of girls in Fine Arts

Number of boys in Fine Arts = 570 - 340 = 230

3. Difference and Required Percentage:
Difference between the number of girls and boys in Fine Arts:

Difference = 340 - 230 = 110

We need to calculate how many girls in Fine Arts are more than the boys, as a percentage of the total number of boys in Fine Arts:

Required Percentage = Difference Number of boys in Fine Arts × 100

Required Percentage = 110 230 × 100 = 1100 23 47.82 %

Thus, the number of girls in Fine Arts is 47.82% more than the number of boys in Fine Arts.
