Question 119

For Political Science, what is the respective ratio of boys and girls?

Solution

We know total girls = 1200, total boys = 600

From the first pie chart, we know it is given for girls and boys combined.

Out of 1800 girls and boys, 35% of the girls are studying political science.

That is, number of total students studying political science = 35% of 1800 = 630

Also, from the second pie chart, we know it is given for girls.

Out of 1200 girls, 30% of the girls are studying political science.

That is, number of girls studying political science = 30% of 1200 = 360

Thus, boys studying political science = 630-360 = 270.

Therefore, the ratio of boys and girls studying political science = 270:360 = 3:4
