Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find out the number of girls who participated in the sports. We know that the total number of participating students is 420, out of which 124 are boys. So, the number of girls who participated is 420 - 124 = 296.

We know that this number, 296, represents 4/7 of the total number of girls in the school. To find the total number of girls, we can set up the equation:

4/7 * G = 296

Solving for G (the total number of girls), we get G = 296 * 7/4 = 518.

Similarly, we know that 124 boys represents 1/5 of the total number of boys in the school. Setting up the equation:

1/5 * B = 124

Solving for B (the total number of boys), we get B = 124 * 5 = 620.

Adding the total number of boys and girls together, we get the total number of students in the school: 518 (girls) + 620 (boys) = 1138.

However, none of the options provided (716, 834, 802, 854, 828) match this result. There might be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
