Let total number of students in the schools be 100
Number of students in school D = 100 × 18%
⇒ 18
Number of girls in school D = 18 × (1/3)
⇒ 6
Number of students in school B = 100 × 15%
⇒ 15
Number of boys in school B = 15 × (3/5)
⇒ 9
Difference = 9 - 6
⇒ 3
Required % = (3/9) × 100
⇒ 33.33% ≈ 33%
∴ Required answer is 33%.
