Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

British passengers

$\Rightarrow \frac{1200 \times 18}{100}=216$

Females

$\Rightarrow \frac{216}{4}=54$;

Males

$\Rightarrow 216-54=162$

Passengers from Madagascar

$\Rightarrow \frac{1200 \times 6}{100}=72=$ Males $(\because$ females $=0)$

Passengers from South Africa

$\Rightarrow 1200 \times \frac{2}{5}=480$

Males

$\Rightarrow 240 $

Females

$\Rightarrow 240$

Indian passengers

$\Rightarrow 1200-216-72-480=432$

Females

$\Rightarrow 432 \times \frac{2}{3}=288$;

Males

Required ratio $=72: 240: 432=3: 10: 18$
