Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Assume the total number of students in the school is 100 (for simplicity). According to the ratio given, there are 60 boys and 40 girls.

  2. 20% of the boys are scholarship holders, which is 20/100 * 60 = 12 boys.

  3. 25% of the girls are scholarship holders, which is 25/100 * 40 = 10 girls.

  4. So, the total number of scholarship holders is 12 boys + 10 girls = 22 students.

  5. Therefore, the percentage of students who are not scholarship holders is 100 - 22 = 78%.

So, the correct answer is 78.
