    In a coaching institute, there are 80 mathematics

    teachers, 60 English teachers, 100 physics teachers, and 40 chemistry teachers. The ratio of male to female mathematics teachers in the institute is 3:1, and the ratio of male to female English teachers is 2:1. Within the physics department, the number of male teachers exceeds the number of female teachers by 20. Furthermore, half of the teachers in the chemistry department are male.

    B 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that┬а Male Mathematics Teachers = 80 ├Ч ┬╛ = 60 Female Mathematics Teachers = 80 ├Ч ┬╝ = 20 Male English Teachers = 2/3 ├Ч 60 = 40 Female English Teachers = 1/3 ├Ч 60 = 20 Male Teachers in Physics = 40 + 20 = 60 Female Teachers in Physics = 40 Male Teachers in Chemistry = 40/2 = 20 Female Teachers in Chemistry = 40/2 = 20 Required ratio = (60 + 40 + 60 + 20):(20 + 20 + 40 + 20) = 180:100 = 9:5
