1. 3 ∶ 5
2. 2 ∶ 3
3. 3 ∶ 2
4. 5 ∶ 3

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3 ∶ 2

Calculations:

Pass percentage of school B = 32%

Pass percentage of boy in school B = (3/8) of 32%

⇒ 12%

Pass percentage of school C = 24%

Pass percentage of boys in school C = (1/3) of 24%

⇒ 8%

Boys percentage of school B : Boys percentage of school C = 12 : 8

⇒ 3 : 2

∴ The correct choice is option 3.
