Ratio Calculation: School A Boys (2023) vs School E Girls (2023)

This question requires us to find the ratio between the number of boys who passed the 10+2 examination from School A in 2023 and the number of girls who passed from School E in the same year. We need to carefully extract the relevant data from the provided table and perform calculations.

Table Data Overview

The table provides details of students passing the 10+2 examination from different schools (A-F) for the years 2023 and 2024. We will focus on the data for the year 2023.

School Year 2023 Number of Passed Students Year 2023 Percentage of Passed Girls Year 2024 Number of Passed Students Year 2024 Percentage of Passed Girls
A 500 46% 550 44%
B 600 42% 640 40%
C 650 56% 560 45%
D 720 60% 800 48%
E 600 54% 840 55%
F 650 50% 750 36%

Step 1: Calculate Boys Passed from School A in 2023

First, we need to find the number of boys who passed from School A in 2023. We know the total number of passed students and the percentage of girls who passed.

  • Total passed students from School A in 2023 = 500.
  • Percentage of girls who passed from School A in 2023 = 46%.

To find the number of girls who passed:

Number of Girls Passed = $\frac{46}{100} \times 500$

Number of Girls Passed = $46 \times 5 = 230$

Now, we can find the number of boys who passed by subtracting the number of girls passed from the total passed students:

Number of Boys Passed = Total Passed Students - Number of Girls Passed

Number of Boys Passed = $500 - 230 = 270$

So, 270 boys passed from School A in 2023.

Step 2: Calculate Girls Passed from School E in 2023

Next, we need to find the number of girls who passed from School E in 2023.

  • Total passed students from School E in 2023 = 600.
  • Percentage of girls who passed from School E in 2023 = 54%.

Calculate the number of girls who passed:

Number of Girls Passed = $\frac{54}{100} \times 600$

Number of Girls Passed = $54 \times 6 = 324$

So, 324 girls passed from School E in 2023.

Step 3: Determine the Ratio

We need to find the ratio of the number of boys passed from School A in 2023 to the number of girls passed from School E in 2023.

Ratio = (Number of Boys Passed from School A in 2023) : (Number of Girls Passed from School E in 2023)

Ratio = $270 : 324$

To simplify the ratio, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) or simplify step-by-step.

Divide both numbers by 2: $135 : 162$

Divide both numbers by 9: $15 : 18$

Divide both numbers by 3: $5 : 6$

The simplified ratio is 5:6.

Final Answer

The ratio of the number of boys who passed from School A in 2023 to the number of girls who passed from School E in the year 2023 is 5:6.
