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 basketball to the total number of students.
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 basketball to the total number of students
= `750/1800 = 25/60 = 5/12`
