A. 25 : 19
B. 35 : 21
C. 20 : 7
D. 30 : 13
E. 5 : 3

Solution: Total boys in B = $$\frac{15} {100}$$ × 32500 × $$\frac{60} {100}$$ = 2925

Total boys in D = $$\frac{28} {100}$$ × 32500 × $$\frac{75} {100}$$ = 6825

Total girls in B = $$\frac{15} {100}$$ × 32500 × $$\frac{40} {100}$$= 1950

Total girls in D = $$\frac{28} {100}$$ × 32500 × $$\frac{25} {100}$$= 2275

Reqd. Ratio = ($$\frac{2925 + 6825} {1950 + 2275})$$

Reqd. Ratio = $$\frac{9750} {4225}$$

Reqd. Ratio = $$\frac{30} {13}$$
