Correct Answer: 118.92%


Solution : Let the number of girls in schools S3 and S4 be $y$% of the number of boys in schools S6 and S1.
According to the question,
Boys(S6) = 500 + 0.3(500) = 650
Girls(S3 + S4) = $y$ × Boys(S6 + S1)
⇒ 1800 + 400 = $y$ × (650 + 1200)
⇒ 2200 = $y$ × 1850
⇒ $y$ = 1.1892
⇒ $y$% = 118.92%
Hence, the correct answer is 118.92%.
