Question
Out of 1800 students in a school, 750 opted basketball, 800 opted cricket and remaining opted table tennis. If a student can opt only one game, find the ratio of number of students who opted cricket to the number of students opting basketball.
Solution
Given,
Number of students in the school = 1800
The number of students who opted for basketball = 750
The number of students who opted for cricket = 800
The number of students who opted for table tennis = 1800 – (750 + 800) = 1800 – 1550 = 250
Ratio of the number of students who opted for cricket to the number of students who opted for basketball
= `800/750 = 16/15`
