Question
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?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
