Correct Answer: 25 : 16


Solution : Number of females in Arunachal Pradesh = $\frac{3}{3+5}$ × 25% of 32760000
Number of females in Uttar Pradesh = $\frac{2}{2+3}$ × 15% of 32760000
Required ratio = $\frac{3}{8}$ × 25% of 32760000 : $\frac{2}{5}$ × 15% of 32760000
= $\frac{3}{8}$ × $\frac{25}{100}$ : $\frac{2}{5}$ × $\frac{15}{100}$
= $25: 16$
Hence, the correct answer is 25 : 16.
