    A)  \[5\frac{1}{47}\]                      

    B)  \[5\frac{2}{47}\]

    C)  \[5\frac{5}{47}\]          

    D)       \[5\frac{3}{47}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Originally, let the number of boys and girls in the college be \[6x\] and \[7x\] respectively. Their increased number is \[(130%\]of \[6x)\]and \[(120%\] of\[7x\]). \[\Rightarrow \left( \frac{130}{100}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,6x \right)\] and  \[\left( \frac{120}{100}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,7x \right)\] \[=\frac{78}{84}=\frac{13}{14}\]
