    In a town, 25% of the residents are underage and hence not

    allowed to vote. Among the eligible voters, 40% are women. If 1/4 of the eligible women and 2/5 of the eligible men participate in the voting, what is the ratio of men to women who voted?
    A 16:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let total number of residents be 100n

    Eligible voters = 0.75 × 100n = 75n

    Eligible women = 0.40 × 75n = 30n

    Eligible men = 75n – 30n = 45n

    Men who voted = (2/5) × 45n = 18n

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

    Required ratio = 18n : 7.5n = 12:5
