Correct Answer: 117 : 215
Solution : Let the number of males and females in Y1 in company A be $11k$ and $10k$ respectively. In Y1, the number of males and females is $9a$ and $10a$ in company B. $11k+9a=21100$ (equation 1) $10k+10a=20600$ (equation 2) Solving the above equations, we get, $a=780$ The number of males in company B in Y1 $=9a=9\times780=7020$. Let the number of males and females in Y3 in company B be $27x$ and $20x$ respectively. (Since the ratio of male to female is 1.35) In Y3, the number of males and females is $16p$ and $20p$ in company A. (Since the ratio of male to female is 0.8) $27x+16p=18025$ (equation 3) $20x+20p=16000$ (equation 4) Solving the above equations, we get, $x=475$ and $p=325$ The number of females in company A in Y3 $=20p=20\times325=6500$. Let the number of males and females in Y5 in company A be $28q$ and $20q$ respectively. In Y5, the number of males and females is $17r$ and $20r$ in company B $28q+17r=13550$ (equation 5) $20q+20r=11800$ (equation 6) Solving the above equations, we get, $q=320$ The number of females in company A in Y5 $=20x=20\times320=6400$ So, the required ratio $=7020:(6500+6400)$ $⇒7020:12900=117:215$ Hence, the correct answer is 117: 215.
