Study the given pie chart and answer the question that follows. Break-up (degree-wise) of the number of students in five schools (A, B, C, D and E) in a city. Total number of students = 5200
If the ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in school B is 7 : 6 and the ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in school is 4 : 5, then what is the ratio of the number of boys in B to that of girls in D? |
14 : 13 12 : 13 13 : 12 13 : 14 |
14 : 13 |
Number of boys in school B = \(\frac{7}{13}\) × \(\frac{72}{360}\) × 5200 = 560 Number of girls in school D = \(\frac{5}{9}\) × \(\frac{64.8}{360}\) × 5200 = 520 Now , Number of boys in school B : Number of girls in school D = 560 : 520 = 14 : 13 |
