View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11 So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55 Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333 => 111x = 333 or x=3 So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.
