Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

60 : 109

Solution :

The correct answer is 60 : 109.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

1. Understand the parameters from the charts and notes:
- From the first pie chart: Total number of boys = 1200.
- The distribution of boys across colleges P, Q, R, and S is a%, 20%, 30%, and b% respectively.
- From the second pie chart (implied by standard distribution): Total number of students = 2500.
- The distribution of total students across colleges P, Q, R, and S is 20%, 10%, 45%, and 25% respectively.
- Note 1: Number of girls in college Q is 10.
- Note 2: Difference between boys and girls in P is 100 (Boys > Girls).

2. Calculate the number of boys in colleges Q and R:
- Boys in college Q:
BoysQ=20%×1200=240
- Boys in college R:
BoysR=30%×1200=360

3. Analyze college P to find the value of 'a':
- Total students in college P = 20% of 2500:
TotalP=0.20×2500=500
- Let the number of boys and girls in college P be BP and GP respectively. We are given:
BP+GP=500
BP-GP=100
- Solving these equations:
2BP=600BP=300
GP=500-300=200
- Now, find the percentage of boys in P (a%):
a%=3001200×100=25%

4. Find the value of 'b' and calculate boys in S:
- Since the total percentage of boys must sum to 100%:
a%+20%+30%+b%=100%
25%+20%+30%+b%=100%
75%+b%=100%b%=25%
- Boys in college S:
BoysS=25%×1200=300

5. Calculate total girls in colleges R and S:
- Total students in college R = 45% of 2500:
TotalR=0.45×2500=1125
- Girls in college R:
GirlsR=TotalR-BoysR=1125-360=765
- Total students in college S = 25% of 2500:
TotalS=0.25×2500=625
- Girls in college S:
GirlsS=TotalS-BoysS=625-300=325
- Total girls in R & S together:
GirlsR+S=765+325=1090

6. Find the required ratio:
- Boys in Q & R together:
BoysQ+R=240+360=600
- Ratio of Boys in (Q + R) to Girls in (R + S):
Ratio=600:1090=60:109
