The table represents the data about the number of students studying in Delhi Public School. Further, it is known that a total of 2000 students are studying in the school from Class 5th to Class 10th.

Question 53

What is the ratio of the number of boys studying in class 9th to the number of the girls studying in class 10th and class 5th combined?

Total number of students in Class 10th = $$\frac{30}{100}\times 2000$$ = 600

Out of these 600 students, the number of boys students in class 10th = $$\frac{80}{100}\times 600$$ = 480

The number of girls students in class 10th = $$\frac{20}{100}\times 600$$ = 120

In similar way we can calculate number of boys and girls in each class. Tabulating the same data 

From the table we can see that,

The number of boys studying in class 9th = 300

Sum of the number of the girls studying in class 10th and class 5th  = 120 + 90 = 210 

Hence, the required ratio = 300 : 210 = 10 : 7 

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
