The graph below depicts the crime cases registered against foreigners in different countries in a given year. The crime cases are classified into three categories: Murder cases, theft cases and other cases. The data for nine countries are shown in the figure below. These nine countries belong to the top ten countries in terms of the total number of cases registered. The tenth country is Malaysia, where only 523 theft cases were registered.
The table below shows the rank of the ten countries in terms of the number of cases registered in each of the three categories of crimes. If two countries are assigned rank2nd, then for any given crime, 3rd rank cannot be assigned to any country.
In the top two countries on the basis of total registered cases, the approximate ratio of total number of murder cases to total number of theft cases is
The number of murder cases in Pakistan is greater than the number of murder cases in Iraq, and the number of murder cases in Iraq is greater than the number of murder cases in China. Therefore, the rank of Pakistan is 1 and the rank of Iraq is 2. As the ranks of India and Bangladesh are 3, the rank of China will be 5.
It is given that the number of theft cases in Malaysia is 523. Therefore, the rank of Malaysia is 1. The rank of Pakistan in theft cases can be 2 or 3. The number of theft cases in Pakistan is less than the number of theft cases in India. Therefore, the rank of Pakistan is 3.
Similarly, checking the values from the graph and ranking countries for other cases.
Final table:
The sum of murder cases in top two countries = 0 + 65 = 65
The sum of theft cases in top two countries = 523 + 40 = 563
Ratio = 65:563 = 1 : 8.66 $$\approx\ $$ 1 : 9
