The ratio of the total amount distributed in all the males and females as salary is 6: 5. The ratio of the salary of each male and female is 2: 3. Find the ratio of the no. of males and females.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
ratio of salary of males to females = 6 : 5
Total salary of males = 6A , Total salary of females = 5A
Ratio of salary of each male and female = 2 : 3
Salary of each male = 2B , Salary of each female = 3B
Number of males = \(\frac{6A}{2B}\)
Number of females = \(\frac{5A}{3B}\)
Ratio of number of males to females
= \(\frac{6A}{2B}\) : \(\frac{5A}{3B}\)
= 9 : 5
