Consider the following table that shows the number of girls enrolled in three different Universities A, B and C over the years 2015 to 2019. Based on the data in the table:
Year-wise Number of Girls in Different Universities
Year | Number of girls in University A | Number of girls in University B | Number of girls in University C |
2015 | 15,000 | 10,000 | 5,000 |
2016 | 10,000 | 17,500 | 20,000 |
2017 | 22,500 | 12,000 | 15,000 |
2018 | 20,000 | 25,000 | 15,000 |
2019 | 25,000 | 20,000 | 22,500 |
What is the ratio between the total number of girls enrolled in University C in the year 2018 and the total number of girls enrolled in University A and University B together in the same year?
- A.
4 : 3
- B.
3 : 4
- C.
2 : 3
- D.
1 : 3
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Finally, express the ratio of University C to (A+B) as 15,000: 45,000. Simplify this fraction by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor to get the final ratio of 1:3.
