The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a college is 6 : 8. If the percentage increase in the number of boys and girls be 20% and 10% respectively, what will be the new ratio. ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let the initial number of boys and girls be 600 and 800 respectively, so that

(no. of boys) : (no. of girls) = 6:8.

Final number of boys (Fb) = 600+ 20% of 600 = 720

Final number of girls(Fg)  = 800+ 10% of 800 = 880

The new ratio = Fb / Fg = 720 / 880 = 9/11 = 9:11

So, the new ratio will be 9 : 11
