      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let population be 100n

      Eligible voters = 0.9 × 100n = 90n

      Eligible females = 0.60 × 90n = 54n

      Eligible males = 90n – 54n = 36n

      Males who voted = (1/2) × 36n = 18n

      Females who voted = (1/5) × 54n = 10.8n

      Required ratio = 18n : 10.8n = 5:3
