There are $60$ students in class $XII$ of a school of whom $35$ are boys. The class teacher has to select a class monitor. She tells the student to write their names on an identical piece of card. Then she puts all the cards in a bowl and draws a card at random from the bowl. What is the probability that the name written on the chit is that of a girl?

There are 60 total students, and since 35 are boys, the number of girls is 60 minus 35, which equals 25. The probability of selecting a girl is the number of girls divided by the total number of students. This gives a probability of 25 divided by 60, which simplifies to 5/12.
