Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12.50%

Given: 

The number of girls studying Arts = 90

The number of boys studying Commerce = 80

Calculation:

Let the number of girls studying Arts greater than the boys studying Commerce be x.

According to the question,

x = 90 - 80

⇒ 10

So, percentage greater = (10/80) × 100

⇒ (25/2)%

⇒ 12.5%

∴ The number of girls studying Arts is greater than the boys studying Commerce by 12.5%.
