Correct Answer: 111 : 24


Solution : As per the given graph,
The total number of students = 600 + 400 + 375 + 350 + 300 = 2025
The number of students scoring marks less than 50% = 270 + 120 + 300 + 220 + 200 = 1110
The number of students scoring marks more than 50% = 600 × 0.55 + 400 × 0.4 + 375 × 0.20 + 350 × 0.1 + 300 × 0.25 = 330 + 160 + 75 + 35 + 75 = 675
The number of students scoring exactly 50% = 2025 – 1110 – 675 = 240
The required ratio = 1110 : 240 = 111 : 24
Hence, the correct answer is 111 : 24.
