Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- (b) Total number of females who watch breaking bad in cities Q and S together
$ =\frac{20000\times 10}{100}+\frac{30000\times 30}{100} $ $ =2000+9000=11000 $
Total number of females who watch mentalist in cities Q and S together
$ =\frac{20000\times 30}{100}+\frac{30000\times 12}{100} $ $ =6000+3600=9600 $
$ \therefore $ Required ratio $ =11000:9600=110:96=55:48 $
