RESULT

No. of students
Section A    Section B    Section C    Section D   
Failed in both    24 25 18 20
Failed in Science but passed in Mathematics 14 12 10 15
Passed in Science but failed in Mathematics 7 6 8 10
Passed in both  63 60 56 55

What is the ratio of number of students who failed in Science but passed in Mathematics of section B and section D together to the number of students of section A that passed in both subjects ?

 

Options:

9 : 17

3 : 7

4 : 9 

5 : 11 

Correct Answer:

3 : 7

Explanation:

Number of students who failed in Science but passed in Mathematics of section B and section D= 12 + 15 = 27

Number of students of section A that passed in both subjects = 63

required ratio  = 27 : 63

= 3 : 7
