Correct Answer: 112


Solution : Given: Ratio of number of boys and girls = 9 : 7
Total number of students = 256
Let the number of boys and girls in a parade of school be 9x and 7x, respectively.
So, the total number of students = 9x + 7x = 16x
According to the question,
16x = 256
$\therefore$ x = 16
Number of girls = 7x = 7 × 16 = 112
Hence, the correct answer is 112.
