Since in each section equal number of boys and girls need to be accomodated, therefore , let us find out HCF of 420 and 272
420=2*2*3*5*7
272=2*2*2*2*17
HCF =2*2=4
Number of boys in each section=420/4=105
Number of girls in each section=272/4=68
TOTAL NUMBER OF SECTIONS ARE 4
420=2*2*3*5*7
272=2*2*2*2*17
HCF =2*2=4
Number of boys in each section=420/4=105
Number of girls in each section=272/4=68
TOTAL NUMBER OF SECTIONS ARE 4
