Question

Out of 1800 students in a school 750 opted basket ball, 80 opted cricket and remaining opted table tennis. If a student can opt only one game, find the ratio of

(a) Number of students who opted basket ball to the number of students Who opted table tennis.

(b) Number of students Who opted cricket to the number of students opting basketball

(c) Number of students Who opted basket ball to the total number of students.

Answer 1

Total number of students = 1800

Number of students opted basketball = 750

Number of students opted cricket = 800

Number of students opted table tennis = 1800 – 750 – 800 = 250

(a) Required ratio = 750/250 = 3/1 = 3 : 1

(b) Required ratio = 800/750 = 16/15 = 16 : 15

(c) Required ratio = 750/1800 = 25/60 = 5/12 = 5 : 12
