The bar graph shows the total number of girls (in lakhs) and the number of girls who play sports (in lakhs) in five states A, B, C, D and E.
What is the ratio of the percentage of sports girls among all girls in state B to that in state D?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 7 : 6
For each state the sports girls are taken as a percentage of that state’s total girls; the two percentages are then compared.
State B: \(\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}\times100=87.5\%\)
State D: \(\displaystyle\frac{7.5}{10}\times100=75\%\)
Ratio \(=87.5:75=7:6\) (both divided by 12.5)
