Determine the ratio of the number of students who play Football to the number of students who play Basketball in a survey of 150 students from the following table:

Questions :

Options :

  • 6:7
  •  7:5
  •  6:5
  •  5:7

correct answer : c)

Explanation :

The number of students who play Football = Students who play Football and Basketball + Students who play Football but not Basketball

= 35 + 55

= 90

The number of students who play Basketball = Students who play Football and Basketball + Students who play Basketball but not Football

= 35 + 40

= 75

Required ratio = 90 : 75

= 6 : 5

Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) 6:5. The ratios 6:7, 7:5, and 5:7 do not represent the correct comparison between Football and Basketball players and are therefore incorrect.
