1. In a club 50% of the male voters and 80% of the female voters voted for candidate A . If candidate A received 70% of the total votes, what is the ratio of male to female voters?
- A. 1/3
- B. 1/3
- C. 1/3
- D. 1/3
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Equation : 25
Male voter = x
Female voter = y
50% of x + 80% of y = 70% of (x + y)
= > 50x/100 + 80y/100 = 70(x + y)/100
= > 50x + 80y = 70x + 70y
= > 80y 70y = 70x 50x
= > 10y = 20x
∴x/y = 10/20 = ½
