A. $$\frac{{x}}{{y}}$$
B. $$\frac{{z}}{{x}}$$
C. 1 - $$\frac{{x}}{{z}}$$
D. $$\frac{{x}}{{z}}$$ - 1
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Total students = zTotal boys = x
Total girls = z - x
⇒ $$\frac{{{\text{Number of girls}}}}{{{\text{Total students}}}}$$
= $$\frac{z - x}{{z}}$$
= 1 - $$\frac{x}{{z}}$$
