Note: Some of the data is deliberately missing (indicated by —). You need to calculate the values based on the given data to answer the given questions
Only 40% and 20% of females were graduates in villages A and C respectively. If female population of villages A and C were equal, what was the respective ratio of number of non-graduate females (including illiterate females) in villages A and C?
Let females in village A = $$x$$
=> Females in village C = $$x$$
Literate females in village A = $$\frac{70}{100} \times x = \frac{7x}{10}$$
=> Graduate females in village A = $$\frac{40}{100} \times \frac{7x}{10}$$
= $$\frac{7x}{25}$$
Literate females in village C = $$\frac{72}{100} \times x = \frac{18x}{25}$$
=> Graduate females in village C = $$\frac{20}{100} \times \frac{18x}{25}$$
= $$\frac{18x}{125}$$
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio of number of non-graduate females (including illiterate females) in villages A and C
= $$(x - \frac{7x}{25}) : (x - \frac{18x}{125})$$
= $$(\frac{18x}{25}) : (\frac{107x}{125})$$
= $$90 : 107$$
