The correct answer is

21 : 10

 To solve this problem, we need to determine the ratio of literates in City-F to those in City-A based on the given data:

  1. First, understand the given data for the cities. We have the total number of persons and the ratios of literates to illiterates in each city.
  2. Let's extract the relevant data:
    • City A:
      • Total population = 5.0 lakhs
      • Ratio of literates to illiterates = \(1 : 4\)
    • City F:
      • Total population = 3.0 lakhs
      • Ratio of literates to illiterates = \(7 : 3\)
  3. Calculate the number of literates in each city using the ratio formula. The formula to calculate literates is:

City A:

  1. Given the ratio \(1 : 4\), the number of parts = 1 (literate) + 4 (illiterate) = 5 parts.
  2. The number of literates = Total population * (Literate part/Total parts) = 5.0 lakhs * (\(1/5\)) = 1.0 lakh.

City F:

  1. Given the ratio \(7 : 3\), the number of parts = 7 (literate) + 3 (illiterate) = 10 parts.
  2. The number of literates = Total population * (Literate part/Total parts) = 3.0 lakhs * (\(7/10\)) = 2.1 lakhs.

Now, calculate the ratio of literates between City-F and City-A:

  1. Ratio of literates in City-F to City-A = Number of literates in City-F / Number of literates in City-A = \(\frac{2.1}{1.0}\)
  2. Simplifying, it gives \(21 : 10\).

Thus, the correct answer is 21 : 10.
