The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a college is 7 : 8. If the percentage increase in the number of boys and girls be 20% and 10% respectively, what will be the new ratio?

21 : 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 7 : 8

Let the number of boy = 7x

the number of girls = 8x

Number of boys after 20% increase = 120% of 7x

                                                           = 1.2 * 7x

                                                            = 8.4 x

Number of girls after 10% increase = 110% of 8x

                                                           = 1.1 * 8x

                                                            = 8.8x                    

After increase in number of boys & girls ,

= 8.4x : 8.8x

= 84 : 88    { reduce to simplest form by giving by 4th table}

= 21 :  22

step-by-step explanation:

answer: it actually depends on which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable. let us say we're looking at a linear equation. y=2x+3. we theoretically could switch the equation to be x=(y-3)/2 and it would be the same line. so either a causes b or it can be that b causes a. so technically the answer is false
