Table I shows the disease-wise percentage distribution of patients of various diseases in the world: Heart Disease 22 percent, AIDS 10 percent, TB 8 percent, Hepatitis 6 percent, Kidney Disease 30 percent and Others 24 percent. Table II shows the continent-wise percentage distribution of all patients and of kidney patients across Europe, Australia, South America, Africa, North America and Asia. The share of all patients is Europe 10, Australia 6, South America 15, Africa 25, North America 12 and Asia 32 percent. The share of kidney patients is Europe 10, Australia 5, South America 40, Africa 10, North America 15 and Asia 20 percent. The total population of the world in 2023 is 800 crore and 10 percent of them are patients. Based on the data in the tables, answer the questions that follow.
If the number of hepatitis patients in the world increases by 6% and that of heart disease increases by 22%, then what will be the new ratio of the number of hepatitis patients to the number of heart disease patients in the world?
A156 : 673
B14 : 61
C159 : 671 ✓ Correct
D2 : 11
Correct answer: (C) 159 : 671 — The new ratio is 159 to 671, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The new ratio is 159 to 671, so that is the answer.
★There are 80 crore patients, and hepatitis is 6 percent, which is 4.8 crore.
★Increasing 4.8 crore by 6 percent gives about 5.088 crore.
★Heart disease is 22 percent, which is 17.6 crore.
★Increasing 17.6 crore by 22 percent gives about 21.472 crore.
★The ratio of 5.088 to 21.472 simplifies to about 159 to 671.
