Question:

The given pie chart represents the percentage-wise distribution of 300 students of class X in a school in six different sections A, B, C, D, E and F.

The given table shows the number of boys of class X in six different sections A, B, C, D, E and F.

Section A B C D E F
No. of boys 36 26 34 28 ...... 20

If in section E, the ratio of boys and girls is 4 : 3. then the ratio of the number of girls in section B to that of the number of girls in section E is:

Options:

15 : 8

13 : 8

13 : 9

14 : 9

Correct Answer:

14 : 9

Explanation:

Total number of students in E = \(\frac{14 }{100}\) × 300  = 43

Ratio of boys to girls in E = 4 : 3

ATQ ,

7R = 42

1R = 6

Number of girls = 3R = 18

Total number of students in B = \(\frac{18 }{100}\) × 300 = 54

Number of boys in B = 26

So , Number of girls = 54 - 26 = 28

Ratio of number of girls in B to number of girls in E

=  28  :  18

14  :  9
