Distribution of students at graduate and post-graduate levels in seven institutes:


4.
What is the ratio between the number of students studying at post-graduate level from institutes S and the number of students studying at graduate level from institute Q?
13 : 19
21 : 13
13 : 8
19 : 13
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required ratio = (21% of 24700) = (21 x 24700) = 19 .
(13% of 27300) 13 x 27300 13

21/100*24700= 5187 for postgraduate.
13/100*27300= 3549 for graduate level.

The ratio will become 5187: 3549.
If you divide 5187 by 3= 1729.
Also, divide 3549 by 3= 1183.

Further, divide 1729 by 91= 19.
Also, divide 1183 by 91= 13.

See, 91*19 = 1729.
91*13 = 1183.

So, the last simplified ratio will become 19:13.

273 x 19 = 5187 (21 ÷ 100 * 24700 = 5187).
273 x 13 = 3549 (13 ÷ 100 * 27300 = 3549).

How we are simplifying the ratios?

Anyone, please explain to me.
