The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the number of males to the number of females based on the given salary ratios. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let the number of males be \( A \) and the number of females be \( B \). 2. **Understand Salary Ratios**: We know that the total salary distributed among males and females is in the ratio of \( 6:5 \). This means: \[ \text{Total Salary of Males} : \text{Total Salary of Females} = 6 : 5 \] 3. **Salary per Male and Female**: The salary ratio of each male to each female is given as \( 2:3 \). Let the salary of each male be \( 2x \) and the salary of each female be \( 3x \) for some \( x \). 4. **Express Total Salaries**: The total salary for all males can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total Salary of Males} = A \cdot (2x) = 2Ax \] The total salary for all females can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total Salary of Females} = B \cdot (3x) = 3Bx \] 5. **Set Up the Ratio**: According to the given ratio of total salaries: \[ \frac{2Ax}{3Bx} = \frac{6}{5} \] The \( x \) cancels out, simplifying to: \[ \frac{2A}{3B} = \frac{6}{5} \] 6. **Cross Multiply**: Cross multiplying gives: \[ 2A \cdot 5 = 6 \cdot 3B \] Simplifying this, we have: \[ 10A = 18B \] 7. **Find the Ratio of A to B**: Dividing both sides by 2: \[ 5A = 9B \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{9}{5} \] 8. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the ratio of the number of males to the number of females is: \[ \text{Ratio of Males to Females} = 9:5 \]
