Interesting. In an exam context, the singular is advisable; but elsewhere, I wouldn't myself be averse to a plural construction with 'none', e.g.

1. None of these people know what they're doing.

2. None of these people are innocent.

As opposed to:

1a. None of these people knows what he's doing.

2a. None of these people is innocent.

Thanks for the reply, Mr.P. What about "no one"? Did I miss you somewhere?

(there was a typo in [4] - instead of 'tese', 'these' of course)

Sentences 3 and 4 don't make sense in English. You might make a case for their being grammatically correct but no native English speaker would say it that way.

I agree with MrP

"None of these girls study in my class."
or
"Not one of these girls study in my class"
