Correct Answer :

Option B

22

22

Solution :

The correct option is 22.

From the given bar chart, we can extract the values for total students (Boys + Girls) represented by the blue bars and the difference between boys and girls (Boys - Girls) represented by the orange bars:
For School C:
Total students (Boys + Girls) = 48
Difference (Boys - Girls) = 12

For School D:
Total students (Boys + Girls) = 52
Difference (Boys - Girls) = 4

First, let us calculate the number of absent boys in School C:
Total number of students in School C = 48
Number of absent students in School C = 25% of 48

Absent students in C=25100×48=12

Given that the number of absent girls in School C is 10:
Absent boys in School C = Total absent students - Absent girls

Absent boys in C=12-10=2

Next, let us calculate the total number of girls in School D:
Let the number of boys in D be BD and the number of girls in D be GD.
From the bar chart:

BD+GD=52 (Equation 1)

BD-GD=4 (Equation 2)

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1:

(BD+GD)-(BD-GD)=52-4

2GD=48

GD=24

So, the total number of girls in School D is 24.

Finally, we compare the absent boys in School C to the total girls in School D:
Difference = Total girls in School D - Absent boys in School C

Difference=24-2=22

Thus, the number of absent boys in School C is 22 less than the total girls in School D.
