Correct Answer: The correct option is 1 : 9.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


Step 1: Extract basic data for Park B from the given graphs.

From the line graph, the total number of people (males + females) who visited Park B is 160.


From the table, the fraction of males out of the total people visiting Park B is 58.


Step 2: Calculate the number of males and females in Park B.

Total males visiting Park B = 160×58=100


Total females visiting Park B = 160-100=60


Step 3: Calculate total local and outside visitors for Park B.

The ratio of local people to outside people visiting Park B is given as 7 : 1.

Total parts = 7+1=8


Total local visitors = 160×78=140


Total outside visitors = 160×18=20


Step 4: Calculate local and outside female visitors for Park B.

The ratio of local females to outside females visiting Park B is given as 5 : 1.

Total parts = 5+1=6


Local females = 60×56=50


Outside females = 60×16=10


Step 5: Calculate local and outside male visitors for Park B.

Local males = (Total local visitors) - (Local females) = 140-50=90


Outside males = (Total outside visitors) - (Outside females) = 20-10=10


Step 6: Find the ratio of outside to local males in Park B.

Ratio of outside males to local males = 10:90=1:9
