In city D, the number of male non-subscribers exceeds the number of female non-subscribers by 200/3 %. What is the ratio of the number of male non-subscribers in city D to the number of non-subscribers in cities A and C together?
A25 : 53
B25 : 54 ✓ Correct
C7 : 9
D2 : 3
Correct answer: (B) 25 : 54 — The ratio is 25 to 54, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The ratio is 25 to 54, so that is the answer.
★City D has 800 non-subscribers, split so that male to female is 5 to 3.
★So the male non-subscribers are five-eighths of 800, which is 500.
★Non-subscribers in city A are 280 and in city C are 800.
★Their total is 1080.
★So 500 to 1080 simplifies to 25 to 54.
