Correct Answer: 42 : 41


Solution : Total number of boys = 5000
Total number of boys in B, D, and E
=$4\%\times 5000 + 25\%\times 5000 + 13\%\times 5000$
$=200 + 1250 + 650 = 2100$
Total number of boys in A, C, and F
$= 26\%\times5000 + 5\% \times 5000 + 10\%\times 5000$
$=1300 + 250 + 500 = 2050$
Ratio = $\frac{2100}{2050} = 42:41$
Hence, the correct answer is 42 : 41.
