W X Y Z
Physics 420 435 412 285
Chemistry 380 340 315 420
Mathematics 256 310 295 345

What is the ratio of the total number of students studying in Physics to that of studying in Mathematics in all four colleges taken together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 776 : 603.

The total number of students studying in Physics = 420 + 435 + 412 + 285 = 1552

The total number of students studying in Mathematics = 256 + 310 + 295 + 345 = 1206

Now, required ratio = 1552 : 1206 = 776 : 603
