Correct Answer: 76
Solution :
Given:
The students in the three classes are in the ratio of 4 : 6 : 9.
Let the original number of students be $4x,6x,$ and $9x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{4x+12}{6x+12}=\frac{7}{9}$
⇒ $42x+84=36x+108$
⇒ $6x=24$
$\therefore x=4$
So, the required number of students
$=(4x+6x+9x)=19x=19×4=76$
Hence, the correct answer is 76.
