What is the ratio of the number of female candidates who qualified from states A and C together in 2021 to the number of male candidates who qualified from the same two states in 2022?
The ratio is 8307 to 21944, so the answer is 8307 : 21944.
Female qualifiers from A and C in 2021 use the 2021 total, state shares and female ratios.
That gives 5112 from A plus 3195 from C, which is 8307.
Male qualifiers from A and C in 2022 use the 2022 total, state shares and male ratios.
That gives 11648 from A plus 10296 from C, which is 21944.
So the ratio is 8307 to 21944.
Each part carefully applies the correct year, state percentage and gender split before forming the ratio.
