Find out the ratio between female students of BA and BCom during 2016-2020

The correct answer is

2117/440

Understanding the Data Table for Course Enrollment Analysis

The provided table shows the number of students, categorized by male (M) and female (F), enrolled in three different courses (B.Sc, BA, B.Com) over five years (2016 to 2020).

To solve this problem, we need to extract the specific data related to female students in BA and B.Com courses for each year and then calculate the total for each course over the given period (2016-2020).

Calculating Total Female Enrollment in BA (2016-2020)

We will sum the number of female students enrolled in the BA course for each year from 2016 to 2020.

  • Female BA students in 2016: 405
  • Female BA students in 2017: 417
  • Female BA students in 2018: 427
  • Female BA students in 2019: 430
  • Female BA students in 2020: 438

The total number of female BA students from 2016 to 2020 is:

\( \text{Total Female BA} = 405 + 417 + 427 + 430 + 438 \)

\( \text{Total Female BA} = 2117 \)

Calculating Total Female Enrollment in BCom (2016-2020)

Next, we will sum the number of female students enrolled in the B.Com course for each year from 2016 to 2020.

  • Female BCom students in 2016: 80
  • Female BCom students in 2017: 85
  • Female BCom students in 2018: 87
  • Female BCom students in 2019: 91
  • Female BCom students in 2020: 97

The total number of female BCom students from 2016 to 2020 is:

\( \text{Total Female BCom} = 80 + 85 + 87 + 91 + 97 \)

\( \text{Total Female BCom} = 440 \)

Determining the Ratio of Female Students (BA to BCom)

The question asks for the ratio between the total female students of BA and the total female students of B.Com during the 2016-2020 period.

The ratio is calculated as:

\( \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Female BA}}{\text{Total Female BCom}} \)

\( \text{Ratio} = \frac{2117}{440} \)

The ratio between female students of BA and BCom during 2016-2020 is 2117/440.

Revision Table: Key Calculations

Year Female BA Students Female BCom Students
2016 405 80
2017 417 85
2018 427 87
2019 430 91
2020 438 97
Total (2016-2020) 2117 440

Ratio = 2117 / 440

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Tips

  • Always read the table title and column/row headers carefully.
  • Understand what each number in the table represents.
  • Identify exactly which data points are required to answer the question.
  • Pay attention to the time period specified in the question (e.g., a single year, multiple years).
  • Perform calculations step-by-step to avoid errors.
  • When calculating ratios, ensure the correct quantities are in the numerator and denominator as specified by the question (e.g., BA to BCom means BA total first, then BCom total).
