Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, calculate the number of Hindi students who scored between 50 and 60 marks.
This is found by subtracting the cumulative count for '60 and above' (424) from '50 and above' (554), which gives 130 students.
Next, determine the number of Punjabi students who scored between 40 and 50 marks.
The total percentage of students scoring 40-50 is 10% (100% - 90%), which equals 120 students (10% of 1200).
The number of Hindi students in this range is 70 (624 - 554). Therefore, Punjabi students in this range are 120 - 70 = 50.
Finally, the ratio of Hindi students (130) to Punjabi students (50) is 130:50, which simplifies to 13:5.
