A) 289 : 42

B) 42 : 289

C) 227 : 50

D) 50 : 227

E) None of these

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Number of candidates failing from city D

= $\left(\frac{3}{4}\times2.27\times100000\right)$

= $\left(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{227}{100}\times100000\right)$

= $\left(227\times750\right)$

Number of candidates failing from city A

= $\left(\frac{3}{10}\times1.25\times100000\right)$

= $\left(\frac{3}{10}\times\frac{125}{100}\times100000\right)$

= $\left(300\times125\right)$

Required ratio : $\left(\frac{227\times750}{300\times125}\right)$

= $\frac{227}{50}= 227:50$
