Answer:78%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of boys = 3x

so , no. of girls= 2x

hence , total students = 5x

No. of boys who scored above 90%  = 20/100×3x

                                                            =3x/5

No. of girls who scored above 90% = 25/100×2x

                                                          =x/2

total students who scored above 90%= 3x/5 + x/2

                                                              = 11x/10

now,

percentage of students who scored above 90% =(11x/10) ÷ (5x) × 100

                                                                               = 22%

Hence %age of students who scored less than 90% = 100 - 22

                                                                                      = 78%
