How the 21 comes we write 21% of 24700 so we do 21/100*24700 instead of this we doing 21*24700 how this possible? Please explain.

@All,

Here is a shortcut.
Here you can simply divide No of PG(21% of 24700)/No of Grad.(14% of 27300),
since X:Y = X/Y.
After that, you will have an answer in decimal, which will be 1.357.
Now all you have to do is check the ratios in Option.
And the answer is, Option D, 19:14 = 19/14 = 1.357.
