What is the ratio between total Graduate and Standard XII male population of State A and total Graduate and Standard XII female population of that State respectively ?
Correct Answer: (3) 217 : 215
Solution:Graduate male population
of state A
= 7/12 × 24×16/100 = 2.24 lakh
Standard XII male population
of state A
= 32 × 15/100 × 7/16 = 2.1 lakh
Sum = (2.24 + 2.1) lakh
= 4.34 lakh
Graduate female population of
state A
= 5/12 × 24×16/100 = 1.6 lakh
Standard XII female population
of state A
= 32 × 15/100 × 9/16 = 2.7 lakh
Sum = (1.6 + 2.7) lakh
= 4.3 lakh
∴ Required ratio = 4.34 : 4.30
= 217 : 215
