Options:

05:09

05:07

07:05

09:05

Correct Answer:

09:05

Explanation:

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
