If the number of persons increases by 10% in City-B and by 12% in City-A in 2021 with respect to 2020, then the ratio of number of persons in City-B to that of City-A in 2021 will be :

UGC NET 2022 Paper 1 Question Paper (22-Oct-2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

99 : 140

 To find the ratio of the number of persons in City-B to City-A in 2021, we will follow these steps:

  1. Determine the population of City-B in 2021 by calculating the 10% increase from its 2020 population.
    • The number of persons in City-B in 2020 is 3.6 lakhs.
    • Increase (10% of 3.6) = \(\frac{10}{100} \times 3.6 = 0.36\) lakhs.
    • Population in 2021 = 3.6 + 0.36 = 3.96 lakhs.
  2. Determine the population of City-A in 2021 by calculating the 12% increase from its 2020 population.
    • The number of persons in City-A in 2020 is 5.0 lakhs.
    • Increase (12% of 5.0) = \(\frac{12}{100} \times 5.0 = 0.60\) lakhs.
    • Population in 2021 = 5.0 + 0.60 = 5.60 lakhs.
  3. Find the ratio of the number of persons in City-B to that of City-A in 2021.
    • Ratio = \(\frac{3.96}{5.60}\).
    • Simplify the ratio:
      • Multiply both numerator and denominator by 100 to eliminate decimals: \(\frac{396}{560}\).
      • Divide both by their GCD (4): Resulting ratio becomes \(\frac{99}{140}\).

Therefore, the ratio of the number of persons in City-B to City-A in 2021 is 99 : 140.
