If in the year 1998, there was an increase of 10% in the population of U.P. and 12% in the population of M.P. compared to the previous year, then what was the ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997? A. C. 42 : 55 7 : 11 B. D. 48 : 55 4:5

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option A Explanation: Let x be the population of U.P. in 1997. Then, Population of U.P. in 1998 = 110% of x = 110 100 x x.

Also, let y be the population of M.P. in 1997. Then, Population of M.P. in 1998 = 112% of y = 112 100 x y. 110 Ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1998 = 100 112 100 From the pie-chart, this ratio is 110x 112y = 15 20 x y = 15 20 15 20 x . 112 110 = 42 55 . xx = xy

110x . 112y

Thus, ratio of populations of U.P. and M.P. in 1997 = x : y = 42 : 55.
