Detailed Solution

It is given that, the ratio of boys and girls is in the ratio 9:5 .
320 is the total number of girls.
Let the number of boys be x .
Therefore,
x 320 = 9 5
By solving the above equation,
5x=2880
x=576
 The total strength of the school = Number of boys + Number of girls.
=576+320  =896
The total strength of school is 896 .
Hence option 2) is correct.
