Number of students in five classes A–E and percentage who like each game (a student may play one/more/none).
| Class | Students | Cricket (%) | Tennis (%) | Handball (%) | Football (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 240 | 60 | 70 | 50 | 60 |
| B | 280 | 50 | 60 | 60 | 50 |
| C | 320 | 40 | 65 | 55 | 45 |
| D | 360 | 65 | 75 | 65 | 55 |

The ratio of the number of students who like to play cricket in Class B to the number who like to play football in Class C is
A36:35
B31:36
C35:37
D35:36 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 35:36
Explanation
The answer is 35 to 36.
Cricket players in Class B are 50 percent of 280, which is 140.
Football players in Class C are 45 percent of 320, which is 144.
So the ratio is 140 to 144.
Dividing both by 4 gives 35 to 36.
So the ratio simplifies to 35 to 36.
So the answer is 35 to 36.
