    Solution

    ATQ,

    Number of men = 720 × (5/9) = 400

    So, number of women = 720 - 400 = 320

    Number of married men = 400 × (3/5) = 240

    And number of unmarried men = 400 - 240 = 160

    Number of married women = 320 × (5/8) = 200

    And number of unmarried women = 320 - 200 = 120

    So, total number of married people = 240 + 200 = 440

    And total number of unmarried people = 160 + 120 = 280

    Therefore, required ratio = 440:280 = 11:7
