Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only II.

Number of male teachers in school L = 160

Number of female teachers in school P = 110

Required percentage = (160/110) × 100 = 145.45% (approx)

Thus, Statement I is incorrect.

Number of female teachers in schools M and N together = 170 + 120 = 290

Number of male teachers in schools N and P together = 170 + 150 = 320

Required ratio = 290 : 320 = 29 : 32

Thus, Statement II is correct.
