Answer» Correct Answer - A Our aim is to calculate the ratio of the total number of girls to the total number of boys in a collage. From statement A, There are 2000 students in the college out of which `40%` are girls. `implies` Number of girls `=40/100xx2000=800` Thus, number of boys `=2000-800=1200` Ratio of number of boys to the total number of girls in a college `=1200:800` `implies` Ratio of number of boys to the total number of girls in a college `=3:2` So, statement A is sufficient to reach at the solution. From statement B, The ratio of the total number of boys to the total number of girls in the last year was `5:5` Here, only last year ratio is given but this data is not sufficient to calculate rat io of number of girls to the total number of boys in a colleage. So, S tatement B alone is not sufficient to reach at teh solution. |
