The following graph shows the number of boys and girls in Class V, Class VI, Class VII and Class VIII. Study the graph and answer the question.

What is the overall percentage increase in boys when compared to girls ? (Correct to two decimal places)

3.81%

Total number of boys = 65 + 59 + 60 + 61 = 245

Total number of girls = 58 + 57 + 62 + 59 = 236

Required percentage = \(\frac{245-236 }{236}\) × 100

= \(\frac{ 9 }{236}\) × 100

= 3.81%
