    In a village, 25% of the people are not allowed to vote.

    Out of the eligible voters, 40% are females. If (1/4)th of eligible female voters and (5/10)th of eligible male voters voted, what is the ratio of males to females who voted?

    B 3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total number of people be '100n'

    Eligible voters = 0.75 × 100n = '75n'

    Eligible female voters = 0.40 × 75n = '30n'

    Eligible male voters = 75n - 30n = '45n'

    Males who voted = (5/10) × 45n = '22.5n'

    Females who voted = (1/4) × 30n = '7.5n'

    Required ratio = 22.5n : 7.5n = 3 : 1
