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

If in section E, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is 3 : 4, then the ratio of number of boys in section E to the number of girls in section D is :

Options:

23 : 18

23 : 24

24 : 23

18 : 23

Correct Answer:

18 : 23

Explanation:

Number of Boys in section E =  \(\frac{3}{7}\)×  \(\frac{14}{100}\) ×300

= 18

Number of girls in section D =  \(\frac{17}{100}\) ×300 - 28

= 51 - 28 = 23

Required ratio , 18 : 23
