Study the tables carefully to answer the questions that follow:
Number of candidates (in lakhs) appearing in an entrance exmination from six different cities
Ratio of Candidates passing and failing within the city
What is the respective ratio of the number of candidates failing in the exam from City D to those failing in the exam from City A ?
Number of candidates from city D = 2.27 lakhs
Ratio of pass : fail = 1: 3
So, number of fail = $$ \frac{3}{3+1}*2.27$$ = 1.7 lakhs
Number of candidates from city A = 1.25 lakhs
Ratio of pass : fail = 7 : 3
So, number of fail = $$ \frac{3}{3+7}*1.25$$ = 37,500
Ratio = 1,70,000 : 37,500. The closest ratio among the answers is (c)
