Question

In a survey of 1000 people, 600 have visited Delhi, 450 have visited Mumbai and 250 have visited both cities. What is the ratio of people who visited only Delhi to those who visited only Mumbai?

The correct answer is
2 : 1

Analyzing Survey Data for City Visits

We are given data from a survey of 1000 people about their visits to Delhi and Mumbai.

  • Total people surveyed: 1000
  • Visited Delhi (D): 600
  • Visited Mumbai (M): 450
  • Visited Both Delhi and Mumbai (D $\cap$ M): 250

Calculating Visitors of Only One City

To find the number of people who visited only Delhi, we subtract those who visited both cities from the total who visited Delhi.

People who visited only Delhi = Number who visited Delhi - Number who visited both

Only Delhi = $600 - 250 = 350$


Similarly, to find the number of people who visited only Mumbai, we subtract those who visited both cities from the total who visited Mumbai.

People who visited only Mumbai = Number who visited Mumbai - Number who visited both

Only Mumbai = $450 - 250 = 200$

Determining the Ratio

The question asks for the ratio of people who visited only Delhi to those who visited only Mumbai.

Ratio = (Number who visited only Delhi) : (Number who visited only Mumbai)

Ratio = $350 : 200$


To simplify the ratio, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 350 and 200, which is 50.

Simplified Ratio = $\frac{350 \div 50}{200 \div 50} = \frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, the ratio is 7 : 4.

This corresponds to Option 4.
