Correct Answer: 42
Solution : Given: 391 Boys and 323 Girls in the class. Prime factors of 391 = (17 × 23) Prime factors of 323 = (17 × 19) HCF of (391, 323) = 17 The largest possible equal number of students in each class = 17 Now, find the number of classes of boys when there are 391 boys $⇒\frac{391}{17}=23$ Similarly, the number of classes of girls when there are 323 girls, $⇒ \frac{323}{17}=19$ Then, total number of classes = (23 + 19) = 42 Hence, the correct answer is 42.
