Passage
The following table shows the population of five villages A to E and the percentage distribution of males (M), females (F) and transgenders (T) among them. Village A has a total population of 12000 with 46 percent males and 22 percent transgenders. Village B has 16000 with 33 percent females and 27 percent transgenders. Village C has 18000 with 32 percent males and 36 percent females. Village D has 24000 with 36 percent males and 20 percent transgenders. Village E has 25000 with 30 percent females and 25 percent transgenders. Any missing percentage is to be computed as the remaining share, since the three groups add up to 100 percent. Based on the data, answer the questions that follow.
Find the ratio of the population of transgenders in Village C to the population of males in Village B.
A9:10 ✓ Correct
B7:8
C3:4
D27:32
Correct answer: (A) 9:10 — The ratio is 9 to 10, so the answer is 9 to 10.
Explanation
★The ratio is 9 to 10, so the answer is 9 to 10.
★In Village C the transgender share is the remaining 32 percent, since 32 and 36 are given.
★So transgenders in Village C are 32 percent of 18000, which is 5760.
★In Village B the male share is the remaining 40 percent, since 33 and 27 are given.
★So males in Village B are 40 percent of 16000, which is 6400.
★The ratio is 5760 to 6400, which simplifies by dividing by 640.
★That gives 9 to 10.
