Correct Answer :

Option D

1 : 9

Solution :

The correct answer is 1 : 9.

Let us break down the solution step-by-step using the data given in the line graph and the table:

Step 1: Find the total number of people who visited Park B
From the line graph, the total number of people (male + female) who visited Park B is represented by the point corresponding to B on the y-axis.

Looking at the y-axis, the value for Park B is exactly:
Total visitors in Park B = 160

Step 2: Calculate the number of males and females in Park B
From the table, the fraction of males out of the total visitors in Park B is:


Fraction of males = 5/8
Using this fraction, we calculate the number of males:
Number of males in Park B = 160 * (5/8) = 100
The remaining visitors are female:
Number of females in Park B = 160 - 100 = 60

Step 3: Calculate the number of local and outside people in Park B
The ratio of local to outside people who visited Park B is given as 7 : 1.
Let the number of local people be 7x and outside people be 1x.

7x+1x=160

8x=160x=20
Therefore:
Total local people = 7 * 20 = 140
Total outside people = 1 * 20 = 20

Step 4: Calculate the number of local and outside females in Park B
The ratio of total local to outside females who visited Park B is given as 5 : 1.
Let the number of local females be 5y and outside females be 1y.

5y+1y=60

6y=60y=10
Therefore:
Local females = 5 * 10 = 50
Outside females = 1 * 10 = 10

Step 5: Calculate the number of local and outside males in Park B
We can find the number of local and outside males by subtracting the females from the total people in each category:

Local males = \text{Total local people} - \text{Local females}

Local males = 140 - 50 = 90
Similarly for outside males:

Outside males = \text{Total outside people} - \text{Outside females}

Outside males = 20 - 10 = 10

Step 6: Find the ratio of outside to local males visited Park B
The required ratio is:
Outside males:Local males=10:90=1:9
