      Solution

      ATQ,

      Number of men = 720 Γ— (5/9) = 400

      So, number of women = 720 - 400 = 320

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

      And number of unmarried men = 400 - 240 = 160

      Number of married women = 320 Γ— (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
