Options:

13 : 25

14 : 25

12 : 25

11 : 25

Correct Answer:

14 : 25

Explanation:

In Economics :

No. of students = 12% of 5000

No. of girls = 56% of (12% of 5000)

Therefore,

No. of girls : Total students =  56% of (12% of 5000) : (12% of 5000) = 56% : 1 = 56 : 100 = 14 : 25

 

Alternate:

Total students of Economics = 12%

12% of 5000 = 600

No. of girls = 56% of 600 = 336

Required ratio →

336 : 600

 14  :  25
