      Question

      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 ร— 100n = 75n

      Eligible women = 0.40 ร— 75n = 30n

      Eligible men = 75n โ€“ 30n = 45n

      Men who voted = (2/5) ร— 45n = 18n

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

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