What is the ratio of the number of male teachers in City-C to the number of female teachers in City-B?
A11:15
B15:11
C15:8 ✓ Correct
D8:15
Correct answer: (C) 15:8
Explanation
The answer is 15 to 8.
City-C has 600 male teachers.
City-B has 16 percent of 4500, which is 720 teachers, of whom 400 are male, so 320 are female.
So the ratio is 600 to 320.
Dividing both by 40 gives 15 to 8.
So the ratio simplifies to 15 to 8.
So the answer is 15 to 8.
