Ratio of male to female lecturers: Lecturers Males : Females Mathematics 7 : 3 Physics 2 : 3 Chemistry 4 : 1 Botany 3 : 5 Zoology 2 : 5 Correct Answer 44
Given:
The total number of lecturers is 500
Percentage of physics lecture is 22%
The ratio of the lecture delivered by male and female lecturers in physics is 2 ∶ 3
Concept Used:
Concept of ratio and percentage
x% means x out of 100
Calculation:
The total number of lecturers is 500
Percentage of physics lecture is 22%
⇒ Total number of physics lecture is (22/100) × 500
⇒ 110
The ratio of the lecture delivered by male and female lecturers in physics is 2 ∶ 3
Number of lectures delivered by male in physics is (2/5) × 110
⇒ 44
∴ 44 physics lectures were delivered by male lecturers.
