Question
Sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1000 males in the population. Find the sex ratio if there are 3732 females per 4000 males in a town.
Solution
Number of females = 3732
Number of males = 4000
∴ The required sex ratio = `3732/4000 = 933/1000`
Thus, there are 933 females per 1000 males.
