Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 25 : 18.
Given:
48% of the number of male workers is equal to two-thirds of the number of female workers
Calculations:
Let the number of male and female workers be M and F
According to the question;
⇒ 48% of M = (2/3) × F
⇒ (48/100) × M = (2/3) × F
⇒ M/F = 25/18
Hence, the required ratio is 25 : 18.
