Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Total students in Lucknow $=\frac{96000 \times 16}{100}=15360$

Males $\Rightarrow \frac{5}{8} \times 15360=9600$

Females $\Rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \times 15360=5760$

Total students in Kolkata $=\frac{96000 \times 9}{100}=8640$

Males $\Rightarrow \frac{5}{9} \times 8640=4800$

Females $\Rightarrow 8640-4800=3840$

$\therefore$ Required ratio $=(9600+4800)$ $:(5760+3840)$ $=14400: 9600=3: 2$
