Number of girl students=378 = $2 \times 3^{3} \times7$ = $14 \times 27$

Number of boy students=675 = $3^{2} \times5^{2}$ = $25 \times 27$

 

Here each can have 27 students.

Number of sections of girls = $\frac{378}{27}=14$

Number of sections of boys = $\frac{675}{27}=25$

 

Total number of sections = 14 +25 =39

 

Hence,Option(1)39.
